| '''Lossless Predictive Audio Compression''' ('''LPAC''') is a legacy [[lossless]] audio format.
| | #REDIRECT [[MPEG-4_ALS]] |

| Created by Tilman Liebchen at the Technische Universität Berlin, it was maintained until 2003 when it was selected as basis for the development of [https://www.nue.tu-berlin.de/menue/forschung/forschungsgebiete/datenkompression_und_uebertragung/mpeg_4_audio_lossless_coding_als/parameter/en/ MPEG-4 ALS Audio Lossless coding] (released in 2006).

| LPAC was at one point relatively popular among lossless formats, as an encoder/decoder was available free of charge (for noncommercial purposes, and closed-source) for Windows, Linux and Solaris, along with a library that made integration of LPAC encoding and decoding into other applications relatively easy. The website offered instructions for [[Exact Audio Copy]] integration. LPAC was also much more efficient and featureful than the major lossless audio format of the 1990s, [[Shorten]].
