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 two channel audio by
restoring sound pressure and smoothing
jagged artifacts left over after compression.
