FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player just like you would an MP3 file.

FLAC stands out as the fastest and most widely supported lossless audio codec, and the only one that at once is non-proprietary, is unencumbered by patents, has an open-source reference implementation, has a well documented format and API, and has several other independent implementations.

SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic features like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters and more.

One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave... don't worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume...

Other additional interesting features:
•Configurable subtitles. You can choose font and size, and even colors for the subtitles.
•Audio track switching. You can choose the audio track you want to listen. Works with avi and mkv. And of course with DVDs.
•Seeking by mouse wheel. You can use your mouse wheel to go forward or backward in the video.
•Video equalizer, allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and gamma of the video image.
•Multiple speed playback. You can play at 2X, 4X... and even in slow motion.
•Filters. Several filters are available: deinterlace, postprocessing, denoise... and even a karaoke filter (voice removal).
•Audio and subtitles delay adjustment. Allows you to sync audio and subtitles.
•Advanced options, such as selecting a demuxer or video & audio codecs.
•Playlist. Allows you to enqueue several files to be played one after each other. Autorepeat and shuffle supported too.
•Preferences dialog. You can easily configure every option of SMPlayer by using a nice preferences dialog.
•Possibility to search automatically for subtitles in opensubtitles.org.
•Translations: currently SMPlayer is translated into more than 20 languages, including Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese....
•It's multiplatform. Binaries available for Windows and Linux.
•SMPlayer is under the GPL license.

WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless, high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode. Although the technology is loosely based on previous versions of WavPack, the new version 4 format has been designed from the ground up to offer unparalleled performance and functionality.

In the default lossless mode WavPack acts just like a WinZip compressor for audio files. However, unlike MP3 or WMA encoding which can affect the sound quality, not a single bit of the original information is lost, so there's no chance of degradation. This makes lossless mode ideal for archiving audio material or any other situation where quality is paramount. 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!

WavPack employs only well known, public domain techniques (i.e., linear prediction with LMS adaptation, Elias and Golomb codes) in its implementation. Methods and algorithms that have ever been patented (e.g., arithmetic coding, LZW compression) are specifically avoided. This ensures that WavPack encoders and decoders will remain open and royalty-free.

 WavPack is free software, but if you find WavPack useful please consider making a donation to help support past and future development.

Monkey’s Audio

Download Monkey’s Audio

Description
Monkey’s Audio is a fast and easy way to compress digital music. Unlike traditional methods such as mp3, ogg, or wma that permanently discard quality to save space, Monkey’s Audio only makes perfect, bit-for-bit copies of your music. That means it always sounds perfect – exactly the same as the original. Even though the sound is perfect, it still saves a lot of space (think of it as a beefed-up Winzip™ your music). The other great thing is that you can always decompress your Monkey's Audio files back to the exact, original files. That way, you'll never have to recopy your CD collection to switch formats, and you'll always be able to perfectly recreate the original music CD.

Features

•Efficient (fast and great compression) — Monkey's Audio is highly optimized and highly efficient

•Perfect sound — absolutely no quality loss, meaning it sounds perfect and decompresses perfect (it's lossless!)

•Media Center™, Foobar™, WMP™, Winamp™, and more support — supported by most popular players and rippers

•Easy — the Windows environment interface is both powerful and easy to use

•Free — Monkey’s Audio is completely free!

•Error detection — Monkey’s Audio incorporates redundant CRC’s to ensure proper decompression of data (errors never go unnoticed)

•Tagging support — Monkey’s Audio uses its own extremely flexible APE Tags so you can easily manage and catalogue your Monkey’s Audio collection

•External coder support — you can use Monkey's Audio as a front-end for all of your encoding needs

•Freely available source code, simple SDK and non-restrictive licensing — other developers can easily use Monkey's Audio in their own programs, and there are no restrictive licensing agreements

K-Lite Codec Pack

About the K-Lite Codec Pack

The K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of DirectShow filters, VFW/ACM codecs, and tools. Codecs and DirectShow filters are needed for encoding and decoding audio and video formats. The K-Lite Codec Pack is designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your audio and movie files. With the K-Lite Codec Pack you should be able to play all the popular audio and video formats and even several less common formats.

Download K-Lite Codec Pack

There are several different variants of the K-Lite Codec Pack. Ranging from a very small bundle that contains only the most essential decoders to a large and more comprehensive bundle. The global differences between the 5 variants can be found below.

Basic	* Contains everything you need to play all popular video file formats. * Supports playback of AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, MPEG, MOV, TS, M2TS, RMVB, OGM, WMV, 3GP, WEBM, and many more formats!	Download Basic
Standard	Same as Basic, plus: * Includes Media Player Classic Homecinema. * Includes a MPEG-2 decoder for DVD playback. * Supports playback of FLAC and WavPack audio files. * Includes MediaInfo tool.	Download Standard
Full	Same as Standard, plus: * Supports several additional audio file formats. * Contains a few ACM and VFW codecs for audio and video encoding. * Contains a few useful tools, like GraphStudio.	Download Full
Mega	Same as Full, plus: * Includes a few extra ACM and VFW codecs. * Includes a few extra DirectShow filters * Includes a few extra tools.	Download Mega
64-bit	For use on 64-bit versions of Windows. For an optimal user experience it is highly recommended to also install one of the 32-bit variants from above, because most software that runs on 64-bit versions of Windows is still 32-bit. Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64 still use a 32-bit version of Windows Media Player by default. Windows Media Center and Windows Explorer are 64-bit applications. That is why you need both 32-bit and 64-bit codecs.	Download 64-bit
