Monkey's Audio for Fedora 42 receives an important update addressing an out-of-bounds read issue. Install now.
Latest Monkey's Audio Codec release

Summary

Monkey's Audio is a fast and easy way to compress digital music. Unlike

traditional methods such as mp3, ogg, or lqt that permanently discard

quality to save space, Monkey's Audio only makes perfect, bit-for-bit

copies of your music. That means it always sounds perfect \u2013 exactly the

same as the original. Even though the sound is perfect, it still saves a

lot of space.
