Some older men and women are still in their childhood / other kinds of basic military time: FLAC (with c, not k). Is sometimes something very different, has a function other than Americans and British to explain the benefits of the parachute and is somewhere but collectively have been better.
So the question is: What does it
The answer: 
Understanding-Vendor / Developer:
Xiph.org Foundation
(known by the alternative format Vorbis, or Ogg container format - are mistaken, the Vorbisformat often ogg codec, or known ogg format, here... But two different sites
). So the stuff is open source, royalty-free (mostly) and already integrated into a variety of applications (Team Speak Speex codec, for example, or Eve-Online. Ogg sounds), tested and known.
Distribution: In special districts are now often until almost exclusively. Audiophile archive their CDs so that really only Moreover, while there are of course other formats (Musepack, TAK, etc.), but in fact based on the same principle, but perhaps only slightly faster or slower. Besides the use
also FLAC, Nine Inch Nails (Trent, I want a child of yours!) Use it, Metallica released its stuff as FLAC and some netlabels as well. Some many even.
Software Support: actually playing now on any reasonable FLAC Player (Media Player with additional codecs and Itunes does it not far off, or only with unfair tricks - as I said, any sensible player). Windows, Linux, Amiga, Irix, Solaris and Mac OSX are supported directly (there is also a
OS / 2 version ) and thanks to the open source availability, it is basically nonsensical to continue the list - experienced hands it could probably also on a dead badger it work.
of accurate, if not already vollstädinge list of all available software (encoder, decoder, player, etc.), can be found here: HERE (no, here ). hardware support: As can be the lack of industrial love not able to deny - As really exotic in all formats. While WMA was pushed by Microsoft, thanks to DRM and even accepted by the industry, FLAC, there is still a certain reticence. What exactly may be now, is to piece together a every man for himself, but one has at least in the high-end now FLAC tightly integrated so it is the device upper price range, which is an open, royalty-free and just funding successful format - although usually not with all its features. best known (though not exactly high end) would probably still be the Squeezebox, which is a so-called stream player, which does not have its own hard drive features (80 MB memory I do not call as a hard disk, but as oversized BIOS) - therefore more of an evolutionary dead end, which only survived thanks to marketing and can be expensive. The way is made by again elsewhere promised.
net from the feeling, FLAC is therefore an audio format for a very special group of users, including music lovers, technology enthusiasts and just plain freaky Archiviernerds (in short, we all have at some point something different than use itunes, To create an MP3). It is aimed at the industry, archives, listen to the home like good music, an audiophile and also to just about everyone else. A format for all, which supports just about every knick-knacks, flexible, cost nothing and can be described as quite mature. As a small presentation, I refer simply to this link that pretty impressive showing the benefits of the format.
What perhaps could act a little deterrent would be the emergence of file size, while an MP3 bit rate used, depending on only the 4-5 MB for a comparable number of minutes, "swallows" a very even FLAC 20-30 MB (unedited original would be around the 40-60 MB or more). But if one but considers the current memory prices, which in the long 400 MB for an album is a low form of waste of space, when viewed in relation to some private porn collection - are stamped "50 cents per gigabyte" area, 300 points. Thus, the advantages of this format according to their best advantage, each week a different aspect dealt with here (until we are done so at some point). Next week will be presented to the appropriate software player, which I can recommend - subsequently, the CD filing program with the EAC (exact audio copy) to be tuned in conjunction with the so-called tagging of FLAC files then available.
