An apparatus, method, and system in which a compressed digital signal is derived from a digital input signal by compressing the digital input signal in a selected one of plural compression modes. The digital output signal has a different bit rate in each compression mode, but the digital input signal is received at the same bit rate in all the compression modes. In the method, spectral coefficients are derived from the digital input signal, and are grouped by frequency and by time into bands. Each band has a frequency width, and the frequency width of at least one of the bands is set according to the selected compression mode. The spectral coefficients in each band are quantized to provide quantized spectral coefficients. Finally, the quantized spectral coefficients in each band are included in the compressed digital signal, together with sub information for each band.
