What is MIME type "audio/x-tta"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

The MIME type audio/x-tta is used for the True Audio codec. It works with files like TTA to store lossless audio. This codec compresses sound data without cutting any quality.

It uses smart algorithms to reduce file size while keeping every bit of the original sound intact. The result is a perfect copy of the audio in a smaller package. This property is key for users who archive or manage high-fidelity music collections.

• Main Use: Lossless audio compression.
• Primary Functionality: Reduce file sizes while preserving sound quality.
• Practical Applications: Archiving music and managing high-quality collections.
• Technical Advantage: Maintains bit-perfect reproduction across various audio sampling rates.
