Yes. And the codec will interpolate to reconstruct the audio it squeezed out in the lossy compression process. At a high bit rate, with high-quality source, this can be quite accurate--good enough even for a symphony musician like me with top-of-the-line playback equipment. > The codec will output 11, 22, 44 etc. based on > the audio sample rate the file was encoded with... Ok, that's the part I was missing. The mp3 file must store information about the original sample rate. I wonder what it does when it's compressing another mp3? Does it read the original sample rate, which could be several generations old?
