Lossy: audio quality is sacrificed (how much depends on bitrate and codec used) to achieve smaller files, Lossless: compression without audio quality loss,

ID Tags: meta data such as artist & album are embedded inside the audio file, APETags were created especially for Monkeys Audio.ĭBpoweramp Reference allows compressions from the command-line, commands specific to this codec:Įxample: "c:\program files\illustrate\dBpoweramp\coreconverter.exe" -infile="c:\afile.wav" -outfile="c:\outfile.ape" -convert_to="Monkeys Audio" -c="3000" -vĮncoding: compress and write an audio file,ĭecoding: uncompress, or read an audio file, Invented by Matt T Ashland (J River employee), one of the more efficient lossless codecs with excellent compression rates. Fast requires the least compression time, whilst Insane the most.

ID Tag Writing: Yes īeing a lossless codec there are not many options to setĬompression affects how much effort goes into compressing the audio, all compression modes decode identical, the higher modes compress to smaller file sizes, but will require more CPU time to compress and decompress.

Multi-processor Encoding: Yes (with dBpoweramp reference).All lossless codecs compress aroundĢ:1 or 4:1 at best, a 3 minute audio track will be around 18 MB. Audio is a lossless codec, meaning no audio quality is lost whilstĬompressing (unlike lossy codecs such as mp3 which throw audio data away),Īudio compressed to a lossless codec will be decoded identical to the
