Wavepack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless, high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode. In the default lossless mode no original information is lost, so there is no change of degradation. Compression in this mode is between 30% an 70%.

WavPack allows users to compress (and restore) both 16 and 24-bit audio files
|
|
in the .WAV format. It also supports multichannel streams and high frequency
|
|
sampling rates. 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.
|
|
|
|
WavPack also incorporates a 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.
