+compression - when uncompressed, the data will be identical to
+the original.

+compression results (difference about 1-3%). TTA is a hardware-
+oriented format. It means that the TTA format has a reasonable
+compression level, but WAS NOT developed to show a top results in
+comparisons. TTA format supports both of ID3v1/v2 tags. Detailed
+format description is available at http://www.true-audio.com
