 [[WavPack]] is a compressed audio file format, and associated open source software.
-Though the compression algorithm is fundamentally lossless, there a standard way to reduce the sample precision if desired, to make it a lossy format. The "lost" information does not have to be thrown away; in "hybrid" mode it is saved in a companion '''.wvc''' file.

		+	In addition to being a standalone format, WavPack is one of the compression methods permitted in [[ZIP]] files (as of ZIP spec version 6.3.2), where it is compression type 97. It's not one of the commonly-found types, though, since most ZIP files stick to the more widely implemented formats, mostly DEFLATE (#8).
