TTA File Format

True Audio category

TTA (True Audio) is a lightweight real-time lossless codec popular in Russian music archives.

Typical use: Convert TTA to FLAC or MP3 for everyday playback.

About the TTA format

TTA (True Audio) is a no-frills real-time lossless compressor: simple 32-bit crypto-free checksums, multi-threadable encoding and IDs at both frame and file level. It filled the lossless niche on slow connections and in Russian archive communities where FLAC arrived late.

Decoding is near-instant and lossless, so converting TTA to FLAC or MP3 costs nothing in fidelity — the audio is identical, the compatibility is finally universal.
