Also, because it's a free and open-source file extension, it can be integrated with third-party applications. It features error detection and support for tags that can be used to store details about the audio tracks.Ĭompared to MP3 or AAC which use lossy compression, APE format does not lose any data during audio encoding tasks. If you find bugs, have suggestions, want to contribute or whatever, send an email to jmac-user mailing list or post message into project forum.APE (Monkey's Audio Lossless) is an audio file format used for audio lossless compression. Please, look the Sourceforge project homepage. It supports the MAC format up to 3.97 version. Small bug fixes with Player and file openings. Java Sound SPI for APE audio implemented. Support of playing/converting audio from stream (any InputStream) implemented. Fixed bug with playing local files using jmacp. Performance and reliability improvements. Java Sound SPI (based on Tritonus) for APE audio implemented. The ability to edit APE Tag info implemented. The MAC format up to 3.98 version now supported. Please, read readme.txt file for more details. The JNI wrapper around of original MAC library implemented. MD5 checking during file verification added. The MAC format up to 3.99 version now supported.

The APE encoder (3.99) implemented, JNI wrapper updated and a lot of bug fixes. Major bug fixing (generally in JNI wrapper).

Also, the ability to run jmac.jar as simple APE utility added. The JNI wrapper around of original MAC library implemented (linux version). Bug with compressing/decompressing of 24-bit audio fixed. Also, the support of new features of JDK1.5 implemented. Bug in compressing algorithm fixed (thanks to Dan). The support both the JDK1.3 and JDK1.5 implemented.

Some problems with closing output/input streams during compression where fixed (thanks again to Dan Rollo). Some problems with correct identification of MAC format in SPI were fixed. GetAudioFileFormat if the target file represented as URL. What you would see in this library in future releases? Please, post a message into Project forum.

JMAC is distributed under the terms of the GNU Library JMAC is a Java implementation of the Monkey's Audio decoder/encoder/ JavaSound SPI.Ĭurrently, Monkey's Audio format up to 3.99 version supported.
