The compression comes from leaving out some data, which the encoding algorithm predicts you wouldn't hear anyway.  Basically, if there's a whole range of frequencies of sound blaring at different levels (which is what happens with music) some of them will be masked by others, and there's a decent model of how people hear sound that can predict which parts of the signal won't be heard by a human ear.<br>I guess my point is that yeah, mp3s compress data, but they don't do it by reducing the sampling rate.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ryan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 4th 2009 10:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood Doesn't Hate MP3s]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/04/radioheads-jonny-greenwood-doesnt-hate-mp3s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/04/radioheads-jonny-greenwood-doesnt-hate-mp3s/</guid><description><![CDATA[MP3's do sound fine, until you hear them compared to the full sized versions. The musical content may be there, but the full low and high frequency sound of the real thing gives you music you can experience rather than just listen to.<br><br>If you just want to hear the melody and rhythm of a song, then MP3 is fine. If you want the musical experience that the artist, producers and engineers wanted you to hear, then MP3's don't cut it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Derp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 5th 2009 1:19AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
