It significantly compresses a music file, saving valuable storage space—a major advantage when managing a library of 140 albums—while retaining a level of audio quality that is, for the vast majority of listeners, indistinguishable from a CD. This compression works by using complex psychoacoustic models to remove sounds that the human ear is less sensitive to, preserving the frequencies that matter most.
