TAK SDK

Software Development Kit for TAK, (T)om's lossless (A)udio (K)ompressor.

Version: TAK SDK 1.1.1, 2009-03-11

About

The SDK is intended to enable other developers to use TAK's technology in their own applications. It consists of a Dynamic Link Library for Microsoft Windows (DLL) as well as header files for Borland Delphi (Pascal) and C.

This version is limited to decoding functions. Once it has stood the test of time in practical use, an extended version with encoding functions will follow.

The library is compatible to the TAK versions 1.0 to 2.3.0.

Links and contact information

My homepage provides up-to-date information about TAK, sadly only in German at present.

If you want to contact me via e-mail, please keep in mind that I won't always have the time to answer.

I am regularly active in the "Lossless Audio Compression" forum at Hydrogenaudio; therefore it is a good place to get information about TAK or ask questions.
