Using the Advanced Music Optimizer
When audio data is removed during the compression

image. The Advanced Music Optimizer feature employs new
DSP technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to
compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure
and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
