About formats

TTA (True Audio) is a real-time lossless audio compression codec developed by Aleksander Djourik, with its origins tracing back to the early 2000s. The format reconstructs the original PCM stream bit-for-bit upon decoding, guaranteeing that no sonic detail is lost during storage or transfer. TTA handles standard CD-quality audio as well as high-resolution content up to 32-bit integer samples, making it suitable for everyday listening and professional archiving alike. Processing speed is one of TTA's defining strengths — the codec achieves fast encoding and decoding without heavy CPU demands, keeping it lightweight even on older hardware. The file structure supports ID3v1, ID3v2, and APEv2 metadata tags, so track information and album art travel with the audio. Hardware support appeared in several portable players, giving TTA a practical edge over some competing lossless formats. The open-source reference implementation ships under the GNU GPL, encouraging community adoption and third-party integrations. While newer codecs like FLAC have captured a larger share of the lossless audio landscape, TTA continues to serve users who value its simplicity and transparent compression.

MAUD is an audio file format developed by MacroSystem for the Commodore Amiga platform, introduced in the early 1990s as part of their digital video and audio production tools. Built on the Amiga IFF (Interchange File Format) chunk architecture, MAUD files organize data into clearly delineated chunks — MHDR for the header, MDAT for sample data, and optional annotation chunks for metadata. The format supports mono and stereo layouts with bit depths of 8 or 16 bits and sample rates up to 48 kHz, which represented professional-grade specifications on Amiga hardware. Both signed linear PCM and A-law/mu-law encodings are available, offering a choice between fidelity and file size. MAUD saw primary use in the Amiga video production community, where MacroSystem Retina and VLab Motion boards demanded synchronized audio that the standard 8SVX format could not deliver. Conversion support exists today through SoX and libsndfile, ensuring vintage Amiga productions remain recoverable. Three distinct advantages stand out: clean IFF-based structure that any chunk-aware parser can navigate, 16-bit stereo capability ahead of typical Amiga audio, and lightweight overhead that left maximum CPU headroom for video rendering.
Initial release: 1992

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MAUD?

MAUD is an enhanced Amiga audio format supporting 16-bit quality — an upgrade over the standard 8-bit IFF audio format.

Why convert TTA to MAUD?

Amiga software development and demoscene projects need MAUD audio. TTA has no Amiga platform support.

What uses MAUD?

Amiga audio applications, SoX, and retro computing emulators support MAUD for vintage platform development.

Is quality limited?

MAUD supports 16-bit uncompressed audio — quality transfers cleanly from lossless TTA within these specifications.

Is the conversion private?

TTA uploads are erased immediately. MAUD results are deleted from servers within 24 hours.
