Question

Identify the various characteristics of digital audio. Fabricio connects his computer to the Internet. He wants to listen to music from an Internet radio station. He knows that audio files can be played before they are completely downloaded from the Internet radio station. Which of the following options will Fabricio use to listen to the Internet radio station?A. Streaming audio player B. Digital media converter C. Audio compression software D. Digital audio synthesizer

Answer 1

The "A" option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Fabricio knows that the audio files don't need to be completely downloaded to be played, it is clear that the radio station uses a streaming player.

A streaming player can download audio (or video) data at a faster speed than it plays it, so if the connection fails, the data is not lost, as the player saves it in a buffer (a temporal space in memory). That gives you the impression that the file is already downloaded.
