FLAC


FLAC or the Free Lossless Audio Codec is just something that I have come across these days when I was trying to listen an audio track encoded using this codec. Flac is better than MP3 thus the name (lossless) but so far it doesn'thave as extensive usage as the latter. But if you take a look at their official website (http://flac.sourceforge.net/) it seems that we are getting there pretty soon.. For my stuff it didn't seem to do much. Anyways I just transform the stream back into a wav file for audio which sounded ok but not amaizing. Again, maybe the quality of the rip wasn't much or whatever but it looks like a good alternative to mp3s and between them and the wavs size-wise.
