Researchers Cram 20-Second Clarinet Solo into Sub-Kilobyte File


A quest by researchers at the University of Rochester resulted in a 20-second clarinet solo being compressed into less than a single kilobyte of data -- nearly 1,000 times smaller than a standard MP3 representing the same audio.

We obtained permission to post the results. They're available as WAV files for easy comparison.
