How do MP3 encoders work?
MP3 encoders encompass the core technology behind MPEG-Layer 3. The programs work by applying a series of algorithms or rules that compress audio. Encoders intelligently detect audio data that is too high or low for the human ear to hear and gets rid of it. They also detect sounds that occur simultaneously and try to get rid of any sounds that are “masked” or made inaudable by other sounds.
