digital audio

Refers to the reproduction and transmission of sound stored in a digital format. This includes CDs as well as any sound files stored on a computer. In contrast, the telephone system (but not ISDN) is based on an analog representation of sound.

When analog sound waves are stored in digital form, each digital audio file can be decomposed into a series of samples.
