Ape
Monkey's Audio
Monkey’s Audio is a
file format for
audio data compression. Being a
lossless compression format, Monkey's Audio does not remove information from the audio stream, as
lossy compression formats such as
MP3,
AAC, and
Vorbis do.Like other methods of compression, the main advantage of using Monkey's Audio lies in a reduction of bandwidth and/or a reduction in storage requirements, but, in the case of Monkey's Audio, there is no sacrificing of the integrity of the audio source (as there would be with, for example, MP3). For example, a digital recording (such as a
CD) encoded to Monkey's Audio can be decompressed into an identical copy of the audio data. Audio sources encoded to Monkey's Audio are typically reduced to about half of the original size.
