&lt;div&gt;=Introduction=&lt;br /&gt;
WavPack is a free lossless audio compression format.&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WavPack also incorporates an unique &amp;quot;hybrid&amp;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 &amp;quot;correction&amp;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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WavPack is completely open source, released under a BSDish license.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;===What is FLAC?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, &#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; is similar to [[MP3]], but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in &#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with &#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed &#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an [[MP3]] file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Players that support FLAC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Hardware ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rio Karma]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[iAudio M3]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Software ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Foobar2000]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Winamp]] v5 (lower versions, maybe?)&lt;br /&gt;

[[JRiver Media Center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Frequently Asked Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Question:&#039;&#039; Does the compression level affect decompression speed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Short Answer&#039;&#039;: No.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Long Answer&#039;&#039;: In truth, the compression level does affect the decompression speed, but the difference between the various compress levels can barely be measured and is too small to be noticed, even on low-end machines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Question:&#039;&#039; What is the best compression level for encoding my music?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Short Answer&#039;&#039;: The default setting, 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Long Answer&#039;&#039;: Encoding at the default setting will give the best balance between compression and encoding speed. Encoding at 8 can more than quadruple the encoding time, while having an insignificant effect on compression.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I added the 35 hour (stated) battery life featured with the M3L version, which is as thick as the M3 40 GB model.  Is that ok?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seems like the only difference is battery time, so I see no reason why they shouldn&#039;t be together.&lt;br /&gt;
Changed the text a little bit to make it more clear that the battery length were for two different moddels.&lt;br /&gt;

Some actions: I based the FAQ section on HA FAQs by Pio. The changes I made are twofold:&lt;br /&gt;
*Merger SACD, DVD-A, Vinyl and Cassette to the various section&lt;br /&gt;
*Created a section called &#039;&#039;Lossy Formats&#039;&#039; but I think it would be better to transfer any format related faq to the format wiki page, ie, create a section called FAQ in each format wiki page&lt;br /&gt;
Opinions are welcome... -[[User:Beto|Beto]] 14:00, 22 Oct 2004 (PDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Agreed. We should put a FAQ on each format with things specific to that format, but still keep a general Lossy FAQ. Ditto for Lossless. - [[User:tiefing|tiefling]]&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;===What is FLAC?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, &#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; is similar to [[MP3]], but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in &#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with &#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed &#039;&#039;&#039;FLAC&#039;&#039;&#039; files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an [[MP3]] file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Players that support FLAC ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Foobar2000]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rio Karma]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[iAudio M3]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Frequently Asked Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Question:&#039;&#039; Does the compression level affect decompression speed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Short Answer&#039;&#039;: No.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Long Answer&#039;&#039;: In truth, the compression level does affect the decompression speed, but the difference between the various compress levels can barely be measured and is too small to be noticed, even on low-end machines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Question:&#039;&#039; What is the best compression level for encoding my music?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Short Answer&#039;&#039;: The default setting, 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Long Answer&#039;&#039;: Encoding at the default setting will give the best balance between compression and encoding speed. Encoding at 8 can more than quadruple the encoding time, while having an insignificant effect on compression.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Introduction=&lt;br /&gt;
Ogg Vorbis (http://www.vorbis.com) is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-free &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(subject to [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/show.php/showtopic/13531 speculation])&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;, and royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format for mid to high quality (8khz-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, polyphonic) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to &amp;gt;256 kbps/channel. This places vorbis in the same competitive class as audio representations such as mpeg-4 ([[AAC]]), and similar to, but higher performance [[MP3]], twinvq ([[VQF]]), [[WMA]] and [[PAC]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vorbis is the first of a planned family of Ogg multimedia coding formats being developed as part of xiphophorus&#039;s ogg multimedia project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Informal listening test suggest Vorbis to be comparable to mpeg-4 [[AAC]] at most bitrates and [[MPC]] at 128kbs. Transparency is generally reached at about 150-170kbps (with some exceptions). The encoder is reasonably young and unoptimized, so further improvements can be expected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, Xiph.org has failed to improve Vorbis at a steady rate since its initial 1.0 release in July 2002. Since then development has been lead by other coders such as Garf and Aoyumi, who have improved the quality particularly at high bitrates.  Aoyumi&#039;s AoTuV series of encoders was incorporated into the August 2004 (??) release of 1.1, which bought about the first quality improvements across the board for 2 years.&lt;br /&gt;

* Several portable hardware players&lt;br /&gt;
