ttaenc (TTA1 lossless audio encoder/decoder)
-ttaenc is TrueAudio lossless compressor for multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits audio data.
-This package contains a full-futured codec library for realtime encoding and decoding of True Audio (TTA) files.
+TTA performs lossless compression on multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits 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. 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 format supports both of ID3v1/v2 and APEv2 tags.
-True Audio compresses up to 30% of the original, broadly similar to FLAC and APE.
-It features a real-time encoding and decoding algorithm and hardware compression support.
-As with most other lossless codecs, plugins are available for most media players.
-
-TTA performs lossless compression on multichannel 8, 16 and 24 bit data of uncompressed wav input files.
-The term "lossless" refers to the fact that such compression results in no data or quality loss;
-when decompressed, the audio file data are bit-identical to those of their originals.
-Compression ratios achieved by the TTA codec vary, depending on music type, but range from 30% to 70% of the original.
-The TTA lossless compressed audio format supports both ID3v1/ID3v2 information tags and APEv2.
-
-The TTA lossless audio codec allows for the storage of up to 20 audio CDs worth of music on a single DVD-R,
-retaining the original CD quality audio, plus detailed information in the ID3 tag format.
-
-All TTA source code and binaries are freely available and distributed under GPL Open Source licenses.
+This package can coexist with "tta", also available in SlackBuilds.
