Digital audio is sound (often music or speech) which is recorded (born-digital) or converted from analog sources and stored in a digital format
Digital audio can be stored on a variety of storage media, including compact disc, audio CD, audio DVD, DAT tape, or as a computer file
Playing equipment decodes the stored signal
In recent years, the music industry has seen a series of changes, for example from analogue cassette players to portable mp3 players to smartphones and other mobile devices
Today, music is often downloaded from the Internet in MP3 format and similarly compressed formats
It is often stored on portable storage devices or played directly from the cloud
