The famous sound card manufacturer Marian created this little lossless audio app. Compression is not on par with modern formats, yet, it works well and features a nice interface.

The program also performs decompression and playback. Alas, it is 16 bit, so it will not run on 64bit Windows systems. Also, as you would expect, there is no support for long filenames at all.

You can still see Marian's description of the codec at the archived download page (see bottom).

Famous multimedia programmer Konstantin Shishkov (Kostya) did a little bit of reverse engineering and documentation regarding this format.

Compression performance in my limited test: 61,87%
