ABSTRACT:
Audio signals are compressed by selecting either a first compression mode providing high-quality sound and a relatively long processing time or a second compression mode having a shorter processing time in accordance with the contents of the audio input signals, for example, whether the signals are audio signals such as music or voice signals such as an announcement. By providing selectable compression time periods music can be enjoyed in high-quality sound, while the announcement of a message can be delivered satisfactorily without the loss of any information.
