Did it cause I was bored.

(I added the black on the side so I could easily see where each line starts)

In case anyone wonders how to do it, first save your image as a RAW file. If it's a colour image make sure to use planar and not interleaved colour. Also remember your image's dimensions.

Now import your saved RAW file in Audacity, 8-bit unsigned mono. Save it as an MP3, then open the MP3 and save it as a RAW 8-bit unsigned mono.

Now open the newly saved RAW file. When saving as an MP3 additional silence is added at the start, so you add a header size (for me it was 1105), you also have to enter your image's dimensions and whether it's colour or not.

If anyone's interested, here's an actual MP3 of a similar encoding (actually a screenshot of above post)

It was compressed at 80 kbps. In other words roughly a 4.3:1 compression ratio.

lol bump

To satisfy my curiousity/boredom I did the same thing except using the NeroAAC compressor (at a bitrate as low as 25 kbit/second! meaning it uses spectral band replication, which I was particularly interested in how it would affect the picture)

Image

(yes it's jpeg compressed but the difference is pretty minimal, mainly the colors being a bit muted)

It wasn't as much a guide as an experiment.
