<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 "hybrid" 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 "correction" 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 />
