Description | 🔵 The APE format, also known as Monkey's Audio, is an audio file format designed for break-even compression of audio data. This means that it compresses the original audio files without losing quality, unlike lossy compression formats such as MP3 or AAC. APE files save an exact copy of the original audio stream, allowing lossless audio playback after decompression. Although APE files are often larger in size than lossy compressed audio files, they generally offer better compression than traditional uncompressed formats such as WAV. |
Technical details | 🔵 The APE (or Monkey's Audio) format is a lossless compressed audio file. It uses a compression method that allows you to compress audio files without loss of sound quality. APE files usually have the extension .ape. The APE technical file format includes a method of representing audio data using lossless compression. This format has the ability to compress audio files based on transforming the representation of the audio signal, which allows you to preserve the original sound quality without loss of information. APE files typically contain metadata that includes information about track length, bitrate, artist, album title, and other audio data. APE also supports high-resolution playback and has good support for high-resolution audio files. |

Description | 🔵 A format of audio stream coding deployed by Microsoft in 1999, it has been serving as a foundation for Windows Media. Its purpose is to store and distribute audio content. Firstly, it was considered a real alternative for MP3, but then, when ACC appeared, WMA partially lost its significance. It differs fundamentally from MP3 by one realization and can be installed on an equal basis with other system codecs of Windows 9x. A good compression quality characterizes WMA, and therefore it has been adapted later for many audio players, mobile devices, and Playstations. However, due to excessive closure, files in this format cannot be played back on other platforms with satisfactory quality. The new version allows for multi-channel coding of large audio files and coding of voice data. In addition to that, the delay in coding has been significantly diminished thanks to the technology of reduced time dilation. |
Technical details | 🔵 The name of WMA is being used simultaneously for the file format and the codec. There are some types of the format:
According to Microsoft programmers, an audio file of 64 Kbit/s bitrate has a similar sound clarity as the tracks from the original CD. However, some of advanced users do not share such views. Most often, WMA files are generated in Advanced Systems Format which contains both audio and video content. One of the failures is the impossibility to support bitrate of more than 160Kbit/s. |
