Re: [LAD] new lossless/lossy audio compressor

Hello. I just finished writing and documenting a new lossless and lossy audio codec called j2kaudio. It uses the wavelet compression in JPEG 2000 to transcode audio wav data to and from j2a files. I have not written any sort of media player plugin yet; more testing and file format refinement are necessary first. I tested with 44100Hz, 16-bit, stereo CD-quality wav files, but it also supports other sample rates, precisions, and channel numbers. I tested against flac, lpac, shorten, and monkey's audio for lossless encoding. j2kaudio beat the nearest competition by over 10%. If anyone is motivated to test some additional songs, provide me with additional test data, or suggest another untested codec, please let me know. http://geocities.com/hildstrom/projects/j2kaudio/index.html Let me know what you think.
