Developer / company: David Bryant

WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless, high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode. 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.

Features:

  • Compatible with virtually all PCM audio formats including 8, 16, 24, and 32-bit ints; 32-bit floats; mono, stereo, and multichannel; sampling rates from 6 to 192 kHz (and non-standard rates)
  • Multiplatform support including Windows, Linux, and OS X, plus a flash decoder that works virtually anywhere
  • Instantly seekable and streaming capable (and gapless)
  • ReplayGain (including WavPack file scanner and compatible plugins)
  • Uses ID3v1 and APEv2 tags for metadata (including ReplayGain)
  • Error-tolerant block format conducive to hardware decoding
  • Optional "asymmetrical" mode for improved compression
  • MD5 audio checksums for verification and identification
  • Unique hybrid mode (provides high quality lossy + "correction" file
  • Dynamic noise shaping (dns) for optimum quality at lower hybrid bitrates
  • Hybrid mode now operates as low as 2.25 bits/sample (or 196 kbps for CD audio)
  • Free and open source with easy to use library interface and unrestrictive license (BSD)
  • Intuitive command line interface (with wildcards and destination directory)
  • Small, efficient executable (no large programs or dlls to install)
  • Special "low latency" version available for custom applications
  • Self-extracting archives with cuesheets (Windows only)
  • Fully backward compatible to WavPack 1.0
  • Java decoder and encoder now available
  • Complete piping support

Although its likely, that some file extensions may be missing from the list of associated file extensions with the application, yet they can be opened, be part of, or otherwise be associated with the program.
