TTA performs lossless compression on multichannel 8, 16 and 24 bit data of uncompressed wav input files. Being "lossless" means that no data/quality is lost in the compression - when decompressed, the data will be identical to the original. The compression ratio of TTA depends on the type of music file being compressed, but after compression the size will generally range between 30% - 70% of the original. TTA format supports both of ID3v1 and ID3v2 information tags.
Using True Audio codec, you can store up to 20 audio CDs from your music collection on one single DVD-R for playback, while keeping all of metadata in a popular ID3 information tags.
