As you noted, two very different things. What follows is a less
simplified
explanation, meant neither to upstage, correct, nor to annoy Swingman.

Digitization of sound in the simplest case, as you noted, is a matter of
taking a certain number of samples every second and representing each
sample
as a number that describes the amplitude of the sound at that instant.

snip of informative stuff

Very well done, Jay! ... you obviously don't have the same number of tenons
(obww) to cut that I do before going back to the studio this evening.
