diff --git a/audio/wavpack/DESCR b/audio/wavpack/DESCR new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..7dabc39d03c --- /dev/null +++ b/audio/wavpack/DESCR @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless, +high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode. +The compression ratio depends on the source material, but generally is +between 30% and 70%. + +The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression with +an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode creates +both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be used all by +itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with the lossy file) +provides full lossless restoration. For some users this means never having +to choose between lossless and lossy compression. |
