Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the MP3 or WMA
compression process, sound quality often suffers from
an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever 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.
