Description | The XM audio format is a type of module file used for storing digital music. It was developed in the early 1990s by a demoscene group called Future Crew and was primarily used for creating music for computer games and demos. The XM format is known for its small file size and high-quality sound, making it a popular choice for digital music creation and sharing. It uses a sample-based synthesis technique, in which short audio samples are combined and manipulated to create complex musical arrangements. XM files contain a series of patterns, which define the structure and timing of the music. Each pattern consists of several tracks, each of which contains a series of notes and effects that control the playback of the audio samples. XM files also support a variety of effects, such as volume slides, vibrato, and reverb, which can be used to add depth and texture to the music. One advantage of the XM format is that it can be played on a variety of platforms and devices, including desktop computers, game consoles, and portable music players. However, because it is a module file format, it requires specialized software or hardware to play and edit. Overall, the XM format remains a popular choice for digital music enthusiasts and demoscene creators, thanks to its flexibility, versatility, and unique sound. |

Description | MP3 is the most popular audio file type based on MPEG-1 Layer III compression. Its lossy algorithm was developed in 1991. MP3 codes the sound almost with the same quality, as CD (16-bit stereo), providing compression in size 1 to 10 from the original WAF or AIFF tracks. The quality of MP3 seriously depends on the bitrate. It can be 128 - 256 kbps. Higher bitrates are also supported, but they seriously increase the file size. It is supported by all modern hard- and software players. |
