TAK (Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor) is an audio coding format for lossless compression of digital audio, developed by Thomas Becker.

The TAK project includes a reference codec implementation (in the form of a command-line application as well as a GUI application), a Winamp plugin, the SDK, and the decoding library.

Features

  • Lossless compression
  • Fast compression and decompression speed
  • Streaming support (necessary headers for decompressing the audio are written to the stream every 2 seconds)
  • Piping support for encoding
  • Error tolerance (single bit error will never affect more than 250 ms)
  • Error detection (each frame protected by a 24-bit checksum (CRC))
  • High-resolution (up to 24-bit/channel) audio support
  • Support for up to 192 Khz Audio
  • Seeking without seek table
  • APEv2 tags supported at end of file
