2. Bing Crosby
3. According to Wikipedia is music below 16 Hz almost non-existent, and music below 5 Hz is probably non-existent.
4. MP3, WMA, AAC are probably the most used lossy sound formats.
5. Scientifically it is a logarithmic unit that measures the magnitude of a physical quantity (usually power or intensity) relative to a specified reference level. Used to measure sound levels.
