In digital audio, music is processed in digital form. The music played by musicians in a
recording studio or a concert hall is picked up by a microphone and recorded in digital form,
to be released for sale as packaged media, including CD. The consumers buy the CD to play
on a CD player: the recorded music is converted from digital to analog for playback through
an amplifier and speakers. The process of playing digital music involves analog/digital
conversion and digital/analog conversion as shown below.
