That music file on your iTunes is a lot more complicated or
deep than what you think. For instance a simple track in iTunes has already
been converted over into the AAC format which stands for advanced audio coding
since the iTunes boom I’m sure everybody has realized this has become the most
popular, however some of you may be confused on why MP3 is not the most
popular. MP3 is right up under AAC which is the MP4 format which by now MP3 is
considered old technology. Many of you will be familiar with WMA format also.
WMA format, which stands for windows media audio, is used by windows media player.
The actual player is being dissolved due to the increasing popularity of
iTunes. But, if you purchase a PC, windows media player automatically comes
with the PC as the default player. All of them as with digital audio are
compressed format. One thing I think is cool with digital audio today is speech
synthesis which is where the computer and or machine can understand spoken
words. Some examples of these would e like on-star or Ford Sync with speech
synthesis. These are in cars which assist you with directions, and help you
with setting in the car such finding music on your iPod. This is a really cool feature
because it feels like you are interacting with the car I would know because I
have the Ford Sync in my car. I’m pretty sure you all have encountered speech
recognition because this feature is used in smartphones today. I know for in
mines when you in the message app you can talk to the phone and it processes
what you say and appears as if you typed out the message yourself.
