  MP2 (format) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MP2, also known as Musicam, is a short form of MPEG Audio Layer II, and it is also used as a file extension for files containing audio data of this type.
Musicam is less efficient than MP3, because it is a much earlier standard.
Like MP3, Musicam is a perceptual codec which means that it removes information that the human auditory system will not be able to perceive.

In 1991 there were two proposals available: Musicam (known as Layer II) and ASPEC (Adaptive Spectral Perceptual Entropy Coding) (with similarities to MP3).
Musicam was choosen due to its simplicity and error resistance.
A working group around Karlheinz Brandenburg and Jürgen Herre took ideas from Musicam, from ASPEC and own ideas and created MP3, which was designed to achieve the same quality at 128 kbit/s as MP2 at 192 kbit/s.

The file format concerns the whole MUSICAM standard and is open to the user's needs.
Bit orientation: The first bit of the MUSICAM stream is stored in the most significant bit of the first byte, the 8th bit of the block is stored in the least significant bit of the same byte.
In front of the MUSICAM standard, the following subset must be supported by every device : * Sample frequency 48 kHz * Layer II * All channel modes and data rates defined by ISO/MPEG except free format.

From the footnotes it is clear that "Musicam Sacram" has not been abrogated and indeed its principles are still in force.
The new Roman Missal in Latin clearly shows the desire to remain faithful to the principles of "Musicam Sacram" by printing the musical notations for the ordinary of the Mass and for all of the major Prefaces.
The purpose of the choir is to help the people pray, and while this is principally achieved through leading the congregation in singing, it may also be done through the beauty of a musical expression that favors silent meditation.

MP3 is a popular digital audio encoding and lossy compression format invented in 1987 by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits in Erlangen, Germany.
However, Musicam as a psychoacoustic codec is still very well designed and very robust in its coding of audio.
All DVD-Video players in PAL countries contain stereo MP2 decoders, making MP2 a possible competitor to Dolby Digital in these markets.

Both the ASPEC and MUSICAM proposals are very close in their basic structure and in their overall performance measured by scoring.
The ASPEC proposal is slightly superior with respect to the audio quality, especially for lower bitrates, and the MUSICAM proposal is slightly superior with respect to implementation complexity and decoding delay.
In view of the time schedule, it has been agreed to use MUSICAM as a basis for the low-complexity first layer of a multilayer coding algorithm and algorithmic refinements including contributions of ASPEC for the subsequent layers.

I was giving Musicam Sacram another look (not being a musician or a liturgist, I don’t read it as often as I do some other Church docs), and was reminded of two things in particular.
In selecting the kind of sacred music to be used, whether it be for the choir or for the people, the capacities of those who are to sing the music must be taken into account.
And Musicam Sacram is pretty clear that any musical forms not exclusively identified with solely secular purposes (and considering Contemp Christian music, that doesn't leave a lot out) are permitted at the liturgy.

Musicam codecs will allow you to connect, with a little hope and prayer, to codecs on Switch56 lines.
For example, Musicam codecs, although they are fully MPEG-2 compatible, need to be set in a special mode called 'decoder independant' before they will connect to other MPEG-2 codecs.
Musicam have gone one stage further by giving their version of MPEG-2 its own name.

 the digital radio service
The audio programme can be taken from the output of the studio desk in any standard analogue or digital format and Musicam coded in a digital radio Musicam coder which has the ability to generate the digital radio ISO header and insert PAD into the Musicam frames.
The PAD is added into the Musicam frames in the Musicam encoder which typically is located at the studio facility.
Each Musicam bit stream is then scrambled in a similar fashion to telecommunications services to disperse the energy profile and then convolutionally coded according to the required protection levels (selected by the multiplex operator and service provider) before being time interleaved.

 Confessions of a Recovering Choir Director: How hard is it to implement a sung Mass?
The Vatican II document Musicam Sacram and the USCCB instructions give preference to singing the Mass, and suggest on paper that it's not incredibly difficult to implement a sung Mass at all -- especially now, given the recent resources now available to us.
The Mass for the purpose of this illustration is the one according to the 1969 missal.
*Musicam Sacram § 28: "...different degrees of participation are put forward here for reasons of pastoral usefulness, so that it may become easier to make the celebration of Mass more beautiful by singing, according to the capabilities of each congregation.

 CS631 Paper Response Form   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
However, masking is a local effect along the frequency spectrum, whereas quantization noise distributes itself evenly over the whole frequency spectrum, so a few loud noises will mask a given quantization noise in some frequencies but not others.
Therefore, MUSICAM uses different quantizations in different frequency bands, so that those frequencies with loud noises are allowed higher quantization noise.
FFTs are used to to compute the energy in each frequency band within 24ms intervals, and the level of nearby bands is used to compute the quantization (this explicitly takes advantage of simultaneous masking, and I think it also implicitly involves a bit of temporal masking, since energies are integrated over the 24ms interval).

 Digital Raido -- The Eureka 147 DAB System
MUSICAM employs the technique of psychoacoustical coding as specified for MPEG-2 Audio Layer II encoding.
The signal component at 1 kHz, distorts and raises the masking threshold which defines the level that other signal components must exceed in order to be audible.
MUSICAM is a highly efficient audio coding process which can compress digital audio signals to one of a number of possible encoding options in the range 8 kbit/s to 384 kbit/s, at a sampling rate of 48 kHz or, when a service can tolerate lower audio quality, 24 kHz.
