 Lossless Transform Audio Compression (LTAC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lossless Transform Audio Compression (LTAC) is a compression algorithm developed by Tilman Liebchen, Marcus Purat and Peter Noll at Institute for Telecommunications, Technical University Berlin (TU Berlin), to compress PCM audio in a lossless manner, unlike conventional lossy audio compression algorithms (like MP3).
Meanwhile there is Lossless Predictive Audio Compression (LPAC), which is based on linear prediction.
This makes it much faster than LTAC and even leads to better compression results.

 Lossless - CompWisdom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Whilst, in principle, any general-purpose lossless compression algorithm (general-purpose means that they can handle all binary input) can be used on any type of data, many are unable to achieve significant compression on data that is not of the form that they are designed to deal with.
Lossless compression frequently involves some form of entropy encoding and are based in information theoretic techniques, Shannon is father of information theory and we briefly summarise information theory below before looking at specific entropy encoding methods.
The only other lossless audio compression method, available for Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X and Linux, is FLAC, which stands for "free lossless audio codec." FLAC is sometimes used by bands that want to release their music on the Internet but don't want to compromise on audio quality.

 Lossless audio compression
The question of compressing audio without any loss of quality (including especially without having to even think about how lossy a lossy algorithm is, because the binary bits are fully restored) is obviously important.

 What is an audio codec?
Codec's are used to encode audio for storage on digital mediums, such as CD's and computer files.
Audio codec's are also used to transmit audio over digital transmission lines, such as SPDIF.
Audio codecs generally fall into two groups, codecs that use lossy compression and those that use lossless compression.

LPAC is a codec for lossless compression of 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 bit audio files.
Like other lossless compression schemes the data reduction varies with the source, but it is generally between 25% and 50% for typical popular music and somewhat better than that for classical music and other sources with greater dynamic range.

JS is also used by some lossless audio compression techniques, for example: Monkey's Audio (ape) and Lossless Predictive Audio Compression (LPAC).
Also, I think I should acknowledge the fact that lossy audio compression is judged entirely on the basis of its acoustic match with the original data, rather than its numerical accuracy.

Given even weight for both channels, m/s encoding [mono/side or mono/difference] is lossless and should not affect the stereo image at all.
(The mere fact that Joint Stereo is used in lossless compression ought to be enough to destroy - in one stroke - the myth that JS \"destroys stereo separation\").
Since most audio files have very few dissimilarites between the left and right channels, the differences channel is often very small, giving its spare data bits to the larger channel.
