Wavpack4Wavelab for Wavelab 6!
| New: |
Triple-R
support! Recording/Rendering/Ripping
straight to Wavpack is supported in
Wavelab 6! Ripping
CD-Text CDs directly to Wavpack generates
APEv2 tags.
Encoding Options are
now accessed the usual way (Wavelab 5
needed a workaround).
Various minor
improvements.

This plugin allows you to
load all Wavpack encoded files into
Steinberg's Wavelab 5 or Wavelab 6 audio editors, and
also save losslessly compressed Wavpack
files.
All valid Wavpack file types can be imported,
including lossless, lossy, lossless 'hybrid +
correction file' and even self-extracting .exe
files.
Lossless .wv files can be saved (and also
recorded/ripped/rendered in Wavelab 6),
optionally as self-extracting .exe files (which will auto-extract to standard
.wav files when run). Many advanced
encoding options are available, including MD5
checksum generation used by file traders.
ID3v1 and APEv2 tags are also
fully supported.
Wavpack is a mature open-source
and royalty-free audio compression format.
The lossless compression mode
used by this plugin creates files that take up
less disk space (typically 50-60% of the
original), but can be reloaded without any loss
of information - ie. they will be 100% identical
to the original audio data.
Saved Wavpack files can be played with most
media players, and even even burned directly to
CD:
- many players have built-in support for
Wavpack files.
- all DirectShow based players (like
Windows Media) can be enabled via this DirectShow plugin (you may need to associate the
.wv extension with your player)
- Winamp, Nero and other plugins are
available from the Wavpack format
creator's site.
There are even several portable audio players
(including the iPod) that can play them using the
free Rockbox
firmware alternative - I carry my entire CD
collection in lossless Wavpack on my iRiver H140!
The plugins are
free of charge, but my time is very limited and
even small donations are welcome. They will
also give me an incentive to continue
development, including bug fixes and updates when
new Wavpack/Wavelab versions emerge.
Donations can be made via
credit/debit card or Paypal (you don't need to
have a Paypal account).
