There are old discussions on this board with samples showing how are reacting different decoders on corrupted streams. Guruboolez, is that in theory or in practice ? Any links to real problem reports regarding this ? Quote Error handling (decoding after media corruption, bad transfert.) is also a weak point for this format When going for other listeninig environments I think there is no alternative to FLAC or wavPack (which are good solutions anyway - cause among all the good lossless codecs there's no big difference in compression ratio). A codec like Monkey is interesting only for archiving and/or for listening to on a pc. I should add that the application context is most of concern of course. Moreover while Monkey extra high means very good compression and good speed when speed is more of concern high and normal mode make Monkey pretty fast whereas compression ratio doesn't suffer a lot. But compression ratio is not a lot better than Monkey's but encoding and decoding speed is significantly lower. Only LA is really interesting when compression ratio has a very strong weight.

Well, these results show up the quality of Monkey very well. Quote from: evereux on 09:44:05 Here's some informative links on Lossless codecs, ya better beleive it.
