SR, DSP (digital signal processing) is a mathematical/digital transformation science/technique to convert/process analog waveforms (eg sounds, music) which are normally continuous waveforms into binary (ie 1's and 0's) bitstreams that can be manipulated and/or stored on digital media (eg computers, Clik!, Zip, Jaz, etc). And it also covers the return trip (ie get the bits back into analog waveforms). Ben A.

Sheila, re >I need a more in depth explanation of the significance of DSP< It's not FUD, but a long established method of transmitting and altering data. Music on vinyl records and cassette tapes is analog. Meaning it looks like wiggles on an oscilloscope. Its frequency determines whether the sound is high or low in pitch. Its amplitude makes the sound loud or quiet. Analog is the natural state of sound. To transmit and alter it reliably and repeatably, analog can be converted to digital [rectangular pulses, or ones and zeroes]. There is a whole book available for free download at dspguide.com 'What is Digital Signal Processing?' is explained, somewhat sketchily, here... dspguide.com So DSP is not new to the present quest to download and play music. And, Elmer did not invent it. <G> Gottfried
