+ttaenc (TTA1 lossless audio encoder/decoder)
+
+ttaenc is TrueAudio lossless compressor for multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits audio data.
+This package contains a full-futured codec library for realtime encoding and decoding of True Audio (TTA) files.
+
+True Audio compresses up to 30% of the original, broadly similar to FLAC and APE.
+It features a real-time encoding and decoding algorithm and hardware compression support.
+As with most other lossless codecs, plugins are available for most media players.
+
+TTA performs lossless compression on multichannel 8, 16 and 24 bit data of uncompressed wav input files.
+The term "lossless" refers to the fact that such compression results in no data or quality loss;
+when decompressed, the audio file data are bit-identical to those of their originals.
+Compression ratios achieved by the TTA codec vary, depending on music type, but range from 30% to 70% of the original.
+The TTA lossless compressed audio format supports both ID3v1/ID3v2 information tags and APEv2.
+
+The TTA lossless audio codec allows for the storage of up to 20 audio CDs worth of music on a single DVD-R,
+retaining the original CD quality audio, plus detailed information in the ID3 tag format.
+
+All TTA source code and binaries are freely available and distributed under GPL Open Source licenses.
