Monkey's Audio (APE) is used by Windows users mostly. It is a free lossless audio compression format with a highly competitive compression algorithm.
Although software is available for Linux, Monkey's Audio is not as popular among this operating system's users. Decompression speeds of Monkey's Audio is too slow compared to other lossless audio codecs.
Monkey's Audio successfully combines traditional lossless compression tactics (linear prediction and channel coupling) and a simple Neural network. To store the output values of its prediction step it uses Range coding, which is modified to work well with more or less continuous values.
