An apparatus and method for lossless audio compression/decompression through entropy coding are provided. The apparatus comprises a buffer, a time-axis predictor, and a bit-allocation entropy coder/decoder, wherein the time-axis predictor is capable of subtracting the predicted value of a current input signal value from its original value, thereby generating a predicted error signal. The predicted error signal is then input into the bit-allocation entropy decoder in accordance with a coding guideline, and in turn is coded into data blocks with different lengths. Further, the data blocks after entropy coding comprise a 32-bit header and the real data following the header, wherein the real data is substantially a discrepancy between the prediction error of the data and the minimum value of each data block.
