Is converting an audio signal into the frequency domain, pruning all inaudible frequencies, and then Huffman encoding it tranformative?

Well if the end result is something completely different such as an algorithm for determining which music is popular or determining which song is playing then yes it's transformative.

It's not merely a compressed version of a song intended to be used in the same way as the original copyright work, this would be copyright infringement.
