just got to thinking about lossless compression and this question popped up. i don't honestly know how you could losslessly compress any music, and in my mind i see a stream of 0's and 1's squished together
how exactly can you compress a data stream without lossing data or spacing between data? how does flac or whatever actually make less space but with all the data? are we loosing the spacing between the numbers? i assume it's something completely different that i don't understand, but perhaps someone can help me out
