I have never used this myself but debian-multimedia repository [1] has
monkeys-audio package which should do what you want. Package's
description:
Monkey's Audio is a highly efficient and popular lossless audio
codec.
It is a tuned compressor for audio, like mp3, ogg, etc - but
"lossless" in that it does not completely discard information, and
performs more of a "zipping" that can be reversed at any time and
generate the original source audio file (hence "lossless" vs
"lossy").
Features:
* Efficient (fast and great compression)
* Perfect sound - absolutely no quality loss
* Incorporates redundant CRC's to ensure proper decompression of
data
* Tagging support - extremely flexible APE Tags
