<p>Ipodman715: </p> <hr /> <div>{{website|FLAC|http://flac.sourceforge.net}}<br /> {{open}}<br /> '''FLAC''' is short for '''Free Lossless Audio Compression'''. It is an open source [[codec]] and [[file format]] which provides a [[lossless|perfect]] quality audio file. Normally, FLAC files contain [[CD|CD quality]] audio.<br /> <br /> FLAC provides a smaller size of file than [[PCM]] [[WAV]] (about half the size), but much larger than [[lossy]] codecs like [[MP3]]. MP3s are about 5-10% the size of WAV files, but are lower quality.<br /> <br /> A CD's worth of data is...<br /> * 700MB as a CD<br /> * 700MB as WAV<br /> * '''300MB as FLAC'''<br /> * 40MB as MP3 (128 [[kbps]])</div>
