Monkey's Audio is a convenient way to compress digital music enabling you to obtain bit-for-bit copies of your favorite music.

This utility isn't like other compression methods like mp3, Ogg, or WMA, which will permanently disregard quality to save space. The result is your music will always sound perfect, just like the original. Regardless of the audio tool's lossless aspect, you still benefit from the space that is saved.

Additionally, you have the added option to decompress any of your Monkey's Audio files back to the exact original state. This ability to decompress means you will never have to recopy your CD collection to switch formats, enabling you to recreate the original music CD flawlessly.
