FLAC

Registered by Registry Administrators

FLAC is a set of tools to losslessly compress audio (ie not losing any quality at all), similar to Shorten and Apple Lossless.

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of:
 * The stream format
 * libFLAC, which implements a reference encoder, stream decoder, and file decoder
 * flac, which is a command-line wrapper around libFLAC to encode and decode .flac files
 * Input plugins for various music players (Winamp, XMMS, and more in the works)
