Audio Lossless Compression Technology
Infima Advanced Audio Lossless technology is a newly developed world best patent pending lossless audio compression technology for users who demand CD quality without compromise.
This new technology is able to compress CD music data up to 60% of its original size without losing any information, and it therefore offers CD quality playback.
Infima Advanced Lossless data incorporates also popular formats suchlike: MP3, OGG, WMA and normalize existing audio format without losing any quality of source.
What is Audio Compression?
A CD player lines up 44,100 pieces of data per second in order to reproduce sound waves (this is referred to as a sampling rate of 44.1kHz). It would be possible to simply reduce the number of pieces of data by half in order to halve the data size, but this would also reduce the sound quality.

Audio compression technology considers human auditory characteristics, and uses a variety of digital signal processing technologies to enable data size to be reduced with almost no loss of sound quality.
So, what is this information that we are able to discard when we compress audio? Basically, sounds that are difficult for humans to hear. Audio compression technologies are able to reduce data size either by simply not recording these sounds, transforming them into other sounds, or eliminating them.
Main Features
Infima Advanced Audio Lossless technology introduces a new patent pending technology.
Infima Audio compression is a fast and easy way to compress digital music. Unlike traditional methods such as mp3, OGG, or WMA that permanently discard quality to save space, Infima Audio technology only makes perfect, bit-for-bit copies of your music.
That means it always sounds perfect – exactly the same as the original, Even though the sound is perfect, it still saves a lot of space.
That way, you'll never have to recopy your CD collection to switch formats, and you'll always be able to recreate the original music CD.

- Efficient (fast and great compression) – Infima Lossless Audio is highly optimized and highly efficient compression technology which achieve world best ratio's without compromising on speed.
- Perfect sound – absolutely no quality loss, meaning it sounds perfect and decompresses perfect (lossless).
- Error detection – Infima Audio compression engine incorporates redundant CRC's to ensure proper decompression of data (errors never go unnoticed).
- External coder support – Infima Audio Compression Engine further support and normalize existing formats suchlike: MP3, OGG, WMA etc, and can be used as a front-end for further compressing all of your encoding needs (no quality loss).
