What is MLP?
MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) is a lossless coding system for use on high-quality digital audio data originally represented as linear PCM. High quality audio these days implies high sample rates, large word sizes and multichannel.

The MLP is used by Meridian codec. Audio compression used on DVD video discs.

MLP performs lossless compression of up to 63 audio channels including 24-bit material sampled at rates as high as 192kHz.

Lossless compression has many applications in the recording and distribution of audio. In designing MLP we have paid a lot of attention to the application of lossless compression to data-rate-limited ransmission (e.g. storage on DVD), to the option of constant data rate in the compressed domain and to aspects that impact on mastering and authoring. MLP was targeted to provide:

  • Good compression of both peak and average data rates.
  • Use of both fixed and variable-rate data-streams.
  • Automatic savings on bass-effects channels.
  • Automatic savings on signals that do not use all of the available bandwidth (e.g. sampled at 96kHz).
  • Automatic savings when channels are correlated.
  • Comprehensive metadata.
  • Hierarchical access to multichannel information.
  • Modest decoding requirements.

MLP provides for up to 63 channels, but applications tend to be limited by the available data rate. To aid compatibility, MLP uses a hierarchical stream structure containing multiple substreams and hierarchical additional data. With this stream structure decoders need only access part of the stream to playback subsets of the audio. Suitable use of the substreams also allows 2-channel compatibility; a low-complexity decoder can recover a stereo mix from a multichannel stream. Figure 1 gives an overview of the process of losslessly compressing a stream containing multiple audio channels and auxiliary data onto a disc.

What is FLAC?
Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format for lossless audio data compression. Being lossless, FLAC does not remove information from the audio stream, as lossy compression formats such as MP3, AAC, and Vorbis do. FLAC's primary author is Josh Coalson. FLAC reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without sacrificing the integrity of the audio source. A digital audio recording (such as a CD track) encoded to FLAC can be decompressed into an identical copy of the audio data. Audio sources encoded to FLAC are typically reduced in size 40 to 50 percent (46% according to their own comparison). FLAC is suitable for everyday audio playback and archival, with support for tagging, cover art and fast seeking. FLAC's free and open source royalty-free nature makes it well-supported by many software applications, but FLAC playback support in portable audio devices and dedicated audio systems is limited at this time.
