    You’ve hit on half the magic!

    You’re talking about how the information is encoded, and the other side is how it can be decoded and turned back into analog sounds.

    There’s quite a bit at play here, but it’s pretty well documented out in the world. You might want to read about audio encoding, or codecs

      Its just so incredible to me that plaintext can actually represent a real piece of sound to be rendered and that can be rendered exactly the same by any device (speaker quality/processing power aside)
