The APE files can be used not only for playing back the music at very high quality (lossless compression), but you can also recreate the original WAV files using them (hence reversible compression). You can take the WAV files and compress them into APE files using the Monkey’s Audio. Now when the storage space is no longer a concern, why not switch from the old MP3 audio format to something else like the Monkey’s Audio which is a lossless reversible audio compressor.
But times have changed now – local storage space is cheaper than ever and people have multiple storage disks installed in their computer, not to mention the ever increasing size of the USB flash disks and the cloud storage.
In order to maximize whatever storage space people had, audio files were often compressed using the MP3 codec which promised a small file at the expense of sound quality. Nobody had heard of cloud storage by then. In those days, hard disks had smaller storage capacities (20 GB HDD was considered a disk with huge capacity) and were very expensive. 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 CD.įixed: Getting a large APE tag field could return a buffer size that was too small so the next get would fail.ĭownload 64-bit: Monkey's Audio 64-bit (3.1 MB)ĭownload 32-bit: Monkey's Audio 32-bit (2.3 MB)Īll other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.Not many people know but the main reason behind the immense popularity of the MP3 file format was the expensive storage space back in the 90’s. The other great thing is that you can always decompress Monkey's Audio files back to the exact, original files.
Even though the sound is perfect, it still saves a lot of space (think of it as Winzip). That means it always sounds perfect – exactly the same as the original. 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.
Monkey's Audio is a fast and powerful lossless audio compressor.
