Have you ever wondered what is lost when you compress a song into an MP3? This week\'s guest Ryan Maguire did more than that. He worked on software to issolate the sounds that are lost when you convert a lossless digital audio recording into a compressed MP3 file.

To complete his project, Ryan worked primarily in python using the\\xa0pyo\\xa0library as well as the\\xa0Bregman Toolkit

Ryan mentioned humans having a dynamic range of hearing from\\xa020 hz to 20,000 hz, if you\'d like to hear those tones, check the previous link.
