Monkey's Audio is a program developed by Matthew Ashland, designed to compress, decompress, and convert WAV files.
The installation process is simple and fast while the program occupies a ridiculously small disk space.
I'd say that the program features are simple and efficient, users enjoying fast and great compression. After the compression and decompression tests, I didn't notice any loss of sound quality, which is quite remarkable for an independent software solution. It incorporates redundant CRC's to ensure that errors never go unnoticed, and tagging support is extremely flexible so you can easily manage and catalog your collection.
The WAV tracks can be compressed at various speeds from normal to extra high, or insane, and the supported compression formats are APE, SHN (Shorten), WV (Wavpack), RKA (Rkau), MPE (Lame),.MP+ (Mp+ decoder) and Ogg. Also, you can create, edit and remove tags for APE and MP3 files.
In conclusion, I would like to say that Monkey's Audio is a simple and effective tool, and it is notable for easiness of navigation through configuration procedures.
