What is a .TTA file?
A .TTA file is a type of audio file that uses the True Audio codec to compress the audio data. This compression is lossless, meaning that when the audio is compressed, none of the original quality is lost. The file size of a .TTA audio file is typically reduced to between 30% and 70% of the original size, which helps save storage space without sacrificing audio quality.
The True Audio codec, which is open-source, is particularly useful for compressing audio files efficiently. This means you can store more songs or audio files using the same amount of space as fewer uncompressed audio files. TTA files can handle multichannel audio and support different bit depths like 8, 16, and 24-bit, similar to .WAV files.
However, .TTA files are not as commonly supported by default media players on most operating systems. To play a .TTA file, you might need to install additional software or codecs. Some of the popular media players that can open .TTA files include: 1. **VideoLAN VLC media player** - This player is very versatile and available for multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
