Abstract
A method, system and product for modifying the dynamic range of an encoded audio signal. The method includes receiving the encoded audio signal, the encoded audio signal having a first set of scale factors associated with a first dynamic range, and identifying a playback destination for the encoded audio signal, the playback destination having a second dynamic range. The method also includes mapping the first set of scale factors to a second set of scale factors associated with the second dynamic range, and replacing the first set of scale factors in the encoded audio signal with the second set of scale factors to create a modified encoded audio signal for decoding and reassembly at the playback destination. The system includes control logic for performing the method. The product includes a storage medium having computer readable programmed instructions for performing the method.
