I've been wondering about the apparent contradiction between the limitations of spectrograms and the remarkable fidelity of MP3 files, which I thought operated along similar lines.
When you convert a spectrogram back into sound it sounds like crap, but then how does MP3 store the frequency information (and why can't we use that for visualizations)?
The math is beyond my understanding, can anyone give some kind of analogy maybe?
