Bitwave is an innovative audio format designed to address the limitations of legacy formats and provide high-fidelity audio.
Compared to MP3, Bitwave offers lossless/near-lossless compression, high-quality audio reproduction, comprehensive spatial audio support, real-time tempo adjustment, multi-track functionality, extensive metadata handling, active development support, and is fully open-source and free to implement.
Bitwave's architecture emphasizes modularity and flexibility, making it suitable for various applications such as VR, AR, interactive gaming, and professional audio production.
The challenge for Bitwave lies in industry-wide adoption and backward compatibility, but its open-source nature and growing developer community position it well to overcome these challenges.
