Description

WavPack is an audio compression application designed to create files with a high level of compression and excellent sound quality. It is an open source application released under the BSD license and is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. WavPack works by taking a source audio file, such as a WAV or AIFF, and compressing the file into a single .WV file. The .WV file contains both the original audio file and a custom compression algorithm that was used to compress the audio. The compression algorithm is designed to reduce the file size while preserving the original audio data. WavPack also supports lossless streaming audio, which is an efficient way to stream audio over the internet without sacrificing quality. It also supports tagging, which allows users to store metadata such as artist and album information, along with the audio file. Overall, WavPack is an efficient and versatile audio compression application that can be used to compress audio files with excellent sound quality.
