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 is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless, +high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode. Although the +technology is loosely based on previous versions of WavPack, the new version +4 format has been designed from the ground up to offer unparalleled +performance and functionality. -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. +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, 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% +(generally lower for typical popular music and somewhat better for classical +music and other sources with greater dynamic range). + +The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression with an +additional bonus.
