Also: can mp3s be totally represented as a text file?

    This does involve a cutoff point in the “maximum” frequency of a signal. Actual sound contains a much larger frequency spectrum than our audio file formats are designed to handle.

      Actual sound also contains a larger frequency spectrum than our ears are designed to handle. Not throwing shade, our audio file formats also contain a narrower frequency spectrum than we can hear generally speaking.

        I speak incompletely because I expect others to argue and complete the conversation. No shade perceived at all.

      Sure but human hearing tends to cap out at around 24khz so a sample rate of 48khz is going to contain everything that we can hear.

        Tends to, key word. Some are outliers in every dimension, including maximum perceptible frequency.
