At now, mostly all of the popular lossless compressors gives the same compression results (difference about 1-3%). The compression ratios of TTA depend on the type of music file being compressed, but the compression size will generally range between 30% - 70% of the original.
TTA is a hardware-oriented format. It means that the TTA format has a reasonable compression level, but WAS NOT developed to show top results in comparisons. TTA format supports both of ID3v1/v2 tags.
Using True Audio encoder you can to store up to 20 audio CD from your collection on one single DVD-R for playback, keeping all of CD information in a popular ID3 information tags.
