FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. The FLAC project consists of:
- the stream format
- libFLAC, a library 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)
What FLAC is:
- FLAC is patent free
- FLAC is lossless
- FLAC is designed to compress audio data
- The compression capabilities of FLAC are extendable
- The currently implemented compression methods in the reference encoder
yield streams smaller than shorten
- FLAC is asymmetric in favor of decode speed
- FLAC is suitable for archiving
- FLAC is suitable for streaming
- FLAC supports fast sample-accurate seeking
- FLAC has an extendable metadata system
