All the ghostly sounds that are lost when compressed to mp3

The sounds lost to mp3 compression from the song “Tom’s Diner”

A bit misleading. MP3 is stored as frames, uncompressed audio is not. This causes tiny phase differences that when nulled causes the differences to be much larger than what they actually are. Don't get me wrong, the resulting sound resembles what we hear in this clip, just with LOT less transients (beginning of sound, for ex "t" in "the"). If you want a true difference between MP3 and uncompressed, it needs to be resynced each frame. The further the clip advances, the differences grow to be larger and larger as the two streams drift apart more and more.

Very interesting...
This song right? Susanne Vega
