| Type of compression that loses no data during the compression or decompression process. Lossless compression is
commonly used for compressing executables and/or other files such
as images (e.g. GIF and
PNG) that requires all data
within the file to function correctly. Some music sharing services, such as Apple
iTunes, are also offering a lossless
compression format for sound downloads. Although the file size of
each song is dramatically increased because of the amount of compression
done, the songs will sound almost identical to the CD and much better
than an MP3.
