A AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) An audio compression scheme defined as part of the MPEG-2 standard (also known as MPEG-2 AAC or MPEG-2 NBC, or Not Backwards Compatible). It offers better sound and a compression ratio that is superior by roughly 30 percent compared to the MPEG-1 MP3 format. AC (alternating current) An alternating current is an electrical current whose magnitude and direction vary cyclically, as opposed to DC (direct current), whose direction remains constant.
being played, and then downloads the title, artist, and track list. Coaxial A single copper conductor, surrounded with a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding copper shield and finally, an insulating jacket. An unbalanced transmission line with constant impedance. In audio, this type is commonly used for low level, line signals terminated in RCA connectors. Compression In audio terms, this is a process of temporarily or permanently reducing audio data for more efficient storage or transmission.
H Hz (Hertz) Cycles per second, named after Heinrich Hertz. I Impedance The resistance to the flow of an electric current in a circuit. This is effectively the electrical load that a loudspeaker presents to the amplifier which drives it and is measured in ohms. Input sensitivity SPL (sound pressure level) a speaker produces, given one watt of power, measured from a one-meter distance at a typical input frequency (usually 1kHz unless otherwise noted on the speaker).
MP3 A file format with a sound data compression system. MP3 is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. With the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times more data than a regular CD. Mute A control found on receivers, and some mixers or signal processing units that silences (mutes) a signal path, or output. O Ohm Measure of resistance to current (impedance). The lower the impedance of a speaker, the harder it is to drive.

Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16.
