Adaptive Digital Pulse Code Modulation
<communications> (ADPCM) A compression technique which records only the
difference between samples and adjusts the coding scale dynamically to
accomodate large and small differences. ADPCM is simple to implement, but
introduces much noise.
[Used where? Does the Sony minidisk use ADPCM or ATRAC?]
