Archive and Compression


An archive file is a file that is composed of one or more computer files along with metadata. Archive files are used to collect multiple data files together into a single file for easier portability and storage, or simply to compress files to use less storage space. Archive files often store directory structures, error detection and correction information, arbitrary comments, and sometimes use built-in encryption.


Libarchive
Desc: The libarchive library provides a single interface for reading/writing
various compression formats.

Snappy
Desc: Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for
maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression library;
instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. For
instance, compared to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy is an order of
magnitude faster for most inputs, but the resulting compressed files are
anywhere from 20% to 100% bigger. On a single core of a Core i7 processor
in 64-bit mode, Snappy compresses at about 250 MB/sec or more and
decompresses at about 500 MB/sec or more.

Audio Codecs


An audio codec is a device or computer program capable of coding or decoding a digital data stream of audio. In software, an audio codec is a computer program implementing an algorithm that compresses and decompresses digital audio data according to a given audio file format or streaming media audio format. The object of the algorithm is to represent the high-fidelity audio signal with minimum number of bits while retaining the quality. This can effectively reduce the storage space and the bandwidth required for transmission of the stored audio file. Most codecs are implemented as libraries which interface to one or more multimedia players.


Flac
Desc: FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar
to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without
any loss in quality.
