Tuesday, 18 September 2007 FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. FLAC is similar
to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss
in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much
better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can
play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home
stereo) just like you would an MP3 file.
