  Musepack
Musepack is an audio compression format with a strong emphasis on high quality.
Musepack is not particularly optimized for low bitrates.
Examples for Musepack's extraordinary quality at higher bitrates can be found on the "High Bitrate Tests" thread on Hydrogenaudio.

 MediaCoder Audio Video Glossary
Musepack or MPC is an open source lossy audio codec, specifically optimized for transparent compression of stereo audio at bitrates of 160-180 kbit/s.
Musepack is mainly optimized for transparent encoding at the "--standard" preset (175-185 kbit/s).
In May 2004, a series of double-blind listening tests [3] (as reported on Slashdot [4]) suggested that Musepack and Ogg Vorbis (which was the 1.1 "aoTuV" fork at the time) were the two best available codecs for high-quality audio compression at bitrates around 128kbit/s, beating MP3, AAC, WMA, or ATRAC.
