Dear MrHoffman


thank you for your replying,

I mean I wanted to know why the music played so quickly.
A long time ago, iTunes played music after downloading it, which took a long time. However, now it is possible to play music data at the "instantaneous" speed that the human ear perceives. I think this is amazing.
There's no question that Apple Music is a great product, but why does it play so fast? I'm very interested in how it works.
I'm not just looking for a good subscription fast.

Thank you for your cooperation.



thank you & best regards

Data compression efficiency has increased, network speeds have increased, servers can be geographically dispersed with better locality, hardware data decompression assists are now in common use, and apps can now routinely start playing once enough data has been cached; usually well before the entire song has been downloaded.
