digital audio
Computerized sound files
Digital audio is sound represented as discrete numerical values rather than as a continuous wave.
Music, speech, and other sounds are sampled thousands of times per second and converted to binary code that computers can store, transmit, and process.
The album is available in digital audio formats like MP3 and FLAC.
Digital audio replaced analog recording as the dominant technology in the late twentieth century.
