In the default lossless mode +WavPack acts just like a WinZip compressor for audio +files. However, unlike MP3 or WMA encoding which can +affect the sound quality, not a single bit of the +original information is lost and so there's no chance +of degradation. This makes lossless mode ideal for +archiving audio material or any other situation where +quality is paramount. The compression ratio depends on +the source material, but generally is between 30% and 70%. +The hybrid mode 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. +EOF |
