Audio compression is the process of reducing the size of an audio file without significantly affecting its perceived sound quality. Compression can be lossless or lossy. Lossless compression reduces file size without losing any information, whereas lossy compression achieves smaller file sizes by discarding some data that is deemed less important.

The MP3 format is a lossy compression format that uses perceptual coding to remove sounds that are less important to the human ear.
