What is the difference between lossless compression and lossy compression? Which type of sound files use what type of compression?

What will be an ideal response?


Both only encode the differences between samples instead of sample values, but lossless compression keeps even the differences humans can’t hear while lossy compression does not. WAV and AIFF files use lossless compression while MP3 files use both.
