<p>217.229.140.123: </p> <hr /> <div>=Introduction=<br /> WavPack is a free lossless audio compression format.<br /> WavPack allows you to losslessly compress (and restore) both 16 and 24-bit audio files in the .[[WAV]] format. Like other lossless compression schemes the data reduction varies with the source, but it is generally between 25% and 50% for typical popular music and somewhat better than that for classical music and other sources with greater dynamic range.<br /> <br /> WavPack also incorporates an unique &quot;hybrid&quot; mode that provides all the advantages of lossless compression with an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode creates both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be used all by itself, and a &quot;correction&quot; file that (when combined with the lossy file) provides full lossless restoration. For some users this means never having to choose between lossless and lossy compression!<br /> <br /> WavPack is completely open source, released under a BSDish license.<br /> <br /> <br /> =Software=<br /> *foobar2000<br /> <br /> <br /> =External links=<br /> * [http://www.wavpack.com/ WavPack: Homepage]</div>
