Methods for compressing data including methods for compressing highly randomized data are disclosed. Nibble encode, distribution encode, and direct bit encode methods are disclosed for compressing data which is not highly randomized. A randomized data compression routine is also disclosed and is very effective for compressing data which is highly randomized. All of the compression methods disclosed operate on a bit level and accordingly are insensitive to the nature or origination of the data sought to be compressed. Accordingly, the methods of the present invention are universally applicable to any form of data regardless of its source of origination.
