Is digital always better than analogue?
It’s a common perception that going digital leads to higher quality, but it depends on the format. For example, to make audio file sizes manageable, so they don’t take up too much space on your computer or MP3 or MP4 player, most digital formats are compressed using techniques that result in some loss of quality. Formats such as MP3 and MP4 remove parts of the music/video. The parts removed are usually not noticeable, but it does depend on how much is removed and how discerning a listener/viewer you are.
