Description |
Wavpack files are unique,
they have the option of being lossless, lossy, or hybrid
(a combination of both).
- Lossless -
audio is compressed but no quality is lost, so the
exact original audio file can be retrieved when
uncompressed,
- Lossy - quality
is lost (for ever) when compressing, like mp3,
- Hybrid - two
files are written out, .wv (normal wavepack) and .wvc
which is a correction file. When the two files are
present together the audio is decoded as Lossless,
when the .wvc is taken away (and stored) the
remaining small .wv file gives out Lossy audio,
