Radio Frequency / RF

An antenna powered by an alternating current in relation to a set frequency creates an electromagnetic field which moves through space at this frequency. By adding to the antenna’s frequency a wave signal of a lesser frequency (a sound, a video signal, or an encoded digital signal), this signal is then transported to a receiving antenna (within range of the transmission frequency of the transmitting antenna): the receiving antenna, once connected to a demodulator (a device which subtracts the antenna’s oscillation frequency from the received frequency), allows for reception of the original signal. This process is known as radio frequency transfer, or RF transfer, making possible the exchange of sound, video or data wirelessly and without any noise. There are 8 major types of data transfer: VLF (Very Low Frequencies): 9kHz - 30kHz // LF (Low Frequencies): 30kHz - 300kHz // FM (Medium Frequencies): 300kHz - 3MHz // HF (High Frequencies): 3MHz - 30MHz // VHF (Very High Frequencies): 30MHz - 300MHz // UHF (Ultra High Frequencies): 300MHz - 3GHz // SHF (Super High Frequencies): 3GHz - 30GHz // EHF (Extremely High Frequencies): 30GHz - 300GHz. Beyond 300GHz, we move past radio frequencies to infrared and then into the visible spectrum. Many high-tech devices communicate at 2.4GHz, a frequency broad enough to provide high data rates and accommodate many streams at the same time. Using the same frequency does not signify that protocols are compatible or identical: gamepads, audio/video transmitters and WiFi networks all function at 2.4GHz in a single location without using the same protocol.

iTunes®

Widely-used software from Apple allowing users to import, store and play music on a computer, iTunes is also used as a portal to purchase, pay for and download music from the Apple iTunes website and as the software interface for Apple’s iPod MP3 players.

MP3

Le MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3, plus connu sous son abréviation de MP3, est la spécification sonore du standard MPEG-1, du Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). C'est un algorithme de compression audio (voir aussi codec) capable de réduire drastiquement la quantité de données nécessaire pour restituer de l'audio, mais qui, pour l'auditeur, ressemble à une reproduction du son original non compressé, c'est-à-dire avec perte de qualité sonore significative mais acceptable pour l'oreille humaine.

Digital audio library

A digital audio library consists of all the audio tracks stored and classified on a computer.
