Music Files Formats
The music trend today is along the line of compressing music files such that these files would not be too large for disks and other storage devices to accommodate. In this manner, more music can be stored in a certain space. In order to do this, the music should be converted into an audio file format, which is the file format used for storing audio on a computer. The usual form of this audio format is a container format with defined storage layer.
In storing digital audio, the audio voltage which corresponds to a certain level of signal on playback, is sampled. The number of bits per sample determines the sample rate of the audio file; while the sample is the data which can be stored in an uncompressed or compressed form.
However, not all music files are compressed. In fact, there are generally three types of audio file formats, and these are the uncompressed audio file formats, formats with lossy compression, and formats with lossless compression. Each of these file format types has distinctive characteristics, and represented by various groups of these specific formats. For example, the uncompressed audio formats are identified as WAV, AU, or PCM among others. Correspondingly, formats with lossy compression include MP3, Vorbis, and Musepack. Formats with lossless compression include Monkey’s Audio, Shorten, and FLAC.

Reading Notes On Sheet Music
If you have ever stopped to look at a piece of sheet music you will have noticed many different shapes ranged across the page. Many look like circles that might or might not be totally filled in. Some may look connected by a couple lines or more. There are other strange symbols as well. What does this all mean?
Is sheet music written in some strange language that only a musician can understand? The answer to that is a resounding no! While it can seem daunting at first sheet music is not extremely difficult to read once you know and understand the different types of notes and symbols you are looking at.
The note structure for most sheet music follows the same basic rules. A whole note is the first note that you should be able to recognize easily. It looks like an open circle and will occupy one full measure (the space between two of the vertical bars which are placed at even integrals across the staff. A whole note is one that is held for the full measure of a beat.
A whole note that falls under different time signatures will not be held for the same length of time however. A whole note in 4/4 time will be held for a full four beats whereas one in 3/4 time will only be held for three beats. This difference aside the whole note will always be considered a whole note unless there is another bit of musical notation added which will be discussed later on.
