ABSTRACT:
An encoding apparatus compresses a stereo signal using a sum signal and a difference signal of a left component signal and a right component signal of the stereo signal. The encoding apparatus includes a calculating unit that calculates complexity of the sum signal and complexity of the difference signal; a setting unit that sets, based on the complexity, an allocation rate of bits to be allocated in quantizing the sum signal and the difference signal; and a quantizing unit that quantizes the sum signal and the difference signal based on the allocation rate.
