| '''Lossless Audio''' ('''La''') is a [[lossless]] audio compressor developed 2002 to 2004 by Michael Bevin, for the Windows and Linux/x86 platforms.
| | #REDIRECT [[Lossless_Audio_(La)]] |
| | |
| La is available as closed-source freeware with a graphical front-end and plugins for [[Winamp]]/[[XMMS]] and [[foobar2000]]; '''''its foobar2000 plugin truncates the end of files''''' and should be avoided.
| |
| | |
| La was - and might still be - the highest compressing lossless encoder, possibly rivaled only by [[OptimFrog]] at its highest (and apparently even slower) setting. Both encoding and decoding are CPU-intensive. | |
| It is limited to 16 bit input. With the software being closed-source and no format specification available, it is not known whether this is a limitation to the format or to the encoder.
