Hi,
(I've been away from the MD-L for a few years, but am returning now
because I'm trying to clarify some terminology...)
Somebody claimed:

Now, as I understand it, recording at 44.1kHz and thus cutting out all
audio above 22.05kHz (and having somewhat of an effect on frequencies
close to that too...) simply isn't called compression.
I was under the impression that "compression" (in the digital sense, not
in the analog processing sense) meant taking a bit stream and reducing it.
Merely using a low bit rate initially woudln't be compression since you
don't "decompress" it.
Anyway, I would appreciate it if anybody here could tell me if my
understanding is correct or not, since nothing I have said so far has
convinced him that the statement is incorrect...
gopi.
