| | 1 | WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless, |
| | 2 | high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode. |
| | 3 | The compression ratio depends on the source material, but generally is |
| | 4 | between 30% and 70%. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression with |
| | 7 | an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode creates |
| | 8 | both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be used all by |
| | 9 | itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with the lossy file) |
| | 10 | provides full lossless restoration. For some users this means never having |
| | 11 | to choose between lossless and lossy compression. |
