I have never used this myself but debian-multimedia repository [1] has monkeys-audio package which should do what you want. Package's description: Monkey's Audio is a highly efficient and popular lossless audio codec. It is a tuned compressor for audio, like mp3, ogg, etc - but "lossless" in that it does not completely discard information, and performs more of a "zipping" that can be reversed at any time and generate the original source audio file (hence "lossless" vs "lossy"). Features: * Efficient (fast and great compression) * Perfect sound - absolutely no quality loss * Incorporates redundant CRC's to ensure proper decompression of data * Tagging support - extremely flexible APE Tags --------------- 1. http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
