The LPAC Homepage

Posted in December 28th, 2000

LPAC is a codec for lossless compression of 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 bit audio files. It has cross-platform support for Windows, Linux and Solaris.

I am primarily interested in compression ratios, not speed of the programs. I think this is the first web site devoted to listing all known lossless audio compression algorithms and […]
