FLAC 1.2.1a

FLAC is a free, open-source digital audio coding format developed by Xiph.Org, a non-profit organization that creates multimedia solutions.

The acronym FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. It is a lossless compression format, which means that it does not alter the original audio data during the compression process. This results in compressed files that are identical in quality to the original uncompressed files, while also being smaller in size.

This compression method allows music lovers to enjoy high-quality, studio-grade music without having to deal with large file sizes. FLAC files are typically about 50-60% smaller than uncompressed audio files like WAV, but still offer the same level of quality.

FLAC is also widely supported by various software and hardware players, making it a popular choice for music enthusiasts who want to preserve and listen to their favorite songs in high quality.
