Monkey’s Audio is a fast and easy way to compress digital music. Unlike traditional methods such as mp3, ogg, or lqt 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™ for 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 recreate the original music CD if something ever happens to yours.

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™, Winamp™, and more support – supported by many 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 evil restrictive licensing agreements
