Music technology company MQA Music says that technology has advanced to the point that, even if you have low-quality devices, your experience doesn't have to be compromised.
The music technology company, which packages master recordings into smaller files that can be easily streamed, promises that its methods keep audio file quality high and the file size low.
This means music fans can now hear what artists intended for their songs. The company doesn't cut anything out of music files, CEO Mike Jbara said.
"We actually fold down and then unfold [the file] when the music fan is playing it back," he said.
Jbara credits his core engineering team for the technology that many other companies aren't able to reproduce.
Currently, the MQA is accessible on platforms such as Tidal, the music streaming service helmed by JAY-Z, and nugs.net, a live streaming channel.
The stunning indictment that led to the arrest of more than 30 people — including Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and other NBA figures — has drawn new scrutiny of the booming business of sports betting in the U.S. The multibillion-dollar industry has made it easy for sports fans — and even some players — to wager on everything from the outcome of games to that of a single play with just a few taps of a cellphone. But regulating the rapidly-growing industry has proven to be a challenge. Professional sports leagues’ own role in promoting gambling has also raised eyebrows.
Tesla, the car company run by Elon Musk, reported Wednesday that it sold more vehicles in the past three months after boycotts hit hard earlier this year, but profits still fell sharply.

Tesla shares fell 3.5% in after-hours trading. Musk said the company's robotaxi service, which is available in Austin, Texas, and San Francisco, will roll out to as many as 10 other metro areas by the end of the year.
