Short: Lossless Audio (de)compressor Author: Alexander Djourik Uploader: lombi iprimus com au (Lorence Lombardo) Type: mus/edit Version: 3.1 Architecture: m68k-amigaos I decided to resend this because it is slightly faster when compiled with "ixemul.library" and has improved functionality. TTA1 - Lossless Audio compressor ================================ Version 3.1, (c) 1999-2004 Alexander Djourik. All rights reserved. TTA performs lossless compression on multichannel 8,16,24 integer and 32-bit floating-point data of the Wav audio files. Being "lossless" means that no data/quality is lost in the compression - when uncompressed, the data will be identical to the original. At now, mostly all of the popular lossless compressors gives a same compression results (difference about 1-3%). The compression ratios of TTA depend on the type of music file being compressed, but the compression size will generally range between 30% - 70% of the original. TTA is a hardware-oriented format. It means that the TTA format has a reasonable compression level, but WAS NOT developed to show a top results in comparisons. TTA format supports both of ID3v1/v2 tags.
