I suppose that's why PCM floppy music disks never took off, only trackers.
I've been curious about the idea of automatically detecting repetetive chunks of audio and only saving them once. Like how .zip files can encode variably sized blocks of data rather than single characters. If you have instrumental music, even when two instruments are playing at the same time, usually they have synchronised timing such that chunks would repeat.
Is there any kind of precedent for that as audio compression?
