Whats Compressed Audio?
Most media players support several digital audio file formats natively, and others via plug-ins. Some of these formats (e.g. a standard Audio CD) are uncompressed, whereas others (e.g. MP3) are compressed. An uncompressed Audio CD can take up close to 700 MB on your hard drive, whereas the same audio in a compressed format often uses less than 20% of the space. MediaMonkey is able to ‘Rip’ audio from an Audio CD and save it to your hard drive in a compressed format.
