I did a comparison between Flac, Wavpack, and Monkey's Audio. I'm a longtime MAC user, but I've been considering replacing it with something else.
Monkey's Audio still has the smallest file sizes, and the fastest compression. On a test sample, the FLAC file was around 53 MB, the Wavpack was 51, and the Monkey's Audio was 47. Additionally, the monkey's audio on a whole encoded at a faster rate. Yes, I know that FLAC and Wavpack have features that MAC doesn't, most noticably lossy and better seeking. However, I use lossless only for archival purposes-- I rarely actually listen to the files, and so, I have to say that monkey's audio is still the best

Just transcode one reference file into FLAC format
EDIT:  There are apparently padded datas at "00000800h". I tried to disable it (-P 0... is that right) but it doesn't work.EDIT2: --no-padding doesn't give the expected result either... I should "corrupt" the file in another position. This post has been edited by guruboolez: Sep 24 2006, 15:27 |
