11* Introduction
12
13This library provides to decode a multichannel 8,16 and 24
14bits TTA audio files. TTA is a lossless audio format. Being
15"lossless" means that no data/quality is lost in the compression
16- when uncompressed, the data will be identical to the original.
17The compression ratios of TTA depend on the type of music file
18being compressed, but the compression size will generally range
19between 30% - 70% of the original.

21TTA format supports both of ID3v1/v2 tags. Detailed format
22description is available at http://www.true-audio.com.

24The decoder process has a minimal system requirements and does
25not required to create a big additional memory pools. As the
26TTA algorithms has a same system requirements both for decoding
27and for encoding processes - the TTA recorder can be easily
28realized also.
