codec (coder/decoder)

A generic term applied to, among other things, lossy and lossless audio compression technologies implemented in hardware or software. Encoded data can be wrapped in a file format appropriate for the data, or decoded from such a file format. For example, the MP3 file format is a wrapper that can hold perceptually encoded audio data.
