Free lossless audio formats software for windows

La is a Lossless Audio compression program. That is, in contrast to formats such as mp3, it reduces the size of music without affecting the quality, as the uncompressed signal is exactly identical to the original.
However, the compression ratio is thus far lower than that for .mp3 files - you can expect around 50%, worse for heavier music and better for classical etc
Features:
- Windows frontend (which also supports many other codecs).
- Best compression currently available (see comparison).
- Versions for both Windows and Linux OSes.
- Winamp, foobar2000 and Xmms plugins for playback

Onda Lossless Audio Compressor is a Java program that compresses 16-bit and 24-bit WAVE and AIFF audio files using the Onda lossless audio compression (LAC) algorithm.
The Onda Lossless Audio Compressor algorithm doesnt perform as well as some other open-source LAC algorithms in terms of either speed or compression ratio; its virtue, if it can be said to have one, is that it is easy to understand and to implement, involving no mathematics beyond a bit of arithmetic.
The motivation for publishing the Onda Lossless Audio Compressor algorithm is that there may be circumstances in which a mediocre but simple LAC algorithm thats easy to implement is preferable to a good but complex algorithm.
There is a diminishing return on the complexity of LAC algorithms; each extra percentage point of compression becomes increasingly difficult to achieve.
The Onda Lossless Audio Compressor algorithm is content with the easy pickings: it gives up the struggle for extra compression when the going gets tough, with the expectation that its less-than-stellar performance will be sufficient for some purposes.
Main features:
- It can compress 16-bit and 24-bit AIFF and WAVE audio files, and can validate and expand files that it has compressed.
- It can be used as a command-line (console) application or with a graphical user interface (GUI).
- It can operate on single files or on all the files in a directory, with optional recursion. Input files and directories can be specified directly or as a list of pathnames in a text file.
- When it is run as a GUI application, input files and directories can be specified by drag-and-drop on systems that support it.
- It can preserve the ancillary chunks of AIFF and WAVE files (eg, the "bext" chunk used in BWF files), using a filter to specify the chunks that should be included in or excluded from a compressed file.

Simple Audio Converter 1.0 is a simple program to turn files from a audio format to another using a easy clean interface. Do you sometimes try to play a file you downloaded from the web on you mp3 player? And maybe that file won't play?

Monkey Audio is an audio plugin for RadioBOSS.
By default RadioBOSS supports the following formats: CD audio, MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG.
Here you can find plugins that allow you to play other file formats. Unpack the archive into the Plugins subfolder of the RadioBOSS installation folder.
