MLP (Meridian Lossless
Packing), the method of audio
data compression used in DVD-
Audio, reduces file size without
removing any of the information
that was contained in the original
recording. The listening audience
will hear the audio as it was
intended in the original recording.
Other packing methodologies that
remove data as part of the
compression are referred to as
“Lossy Compression”.
