Appearance
![]() | It has been suggested that List of open-source codecs be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2016. |
The following is a list of compression formats and related codecs.
Audio compression formats
Non-compression
- Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM, generally only described as PCM) is the format for uncompressed audio in media files and it is also the standard for CD-DA; note that in computers, LPCM is usually stored in container formats such as WAV, AIFF, or AU, or as raw audio format, although not technically necessary.
