“Compress audio like never before”

by Jon Riggall about FLAC

FLAC is a lossless audio format, which stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. This application allows you to encode and decode FLAC files, and supports WAV and OGG formats.

The FLAC format is one of the most popular lossless formats, and as storage space becomes less of an issue, big audio files are becoming less of an issue. Anyone who records live audio in WAV format can use this FLAC encoder to compress their files with no loss of audio quality. It's great for audiophiles and audio professionals who need such high quality sound.

The FLAC encoder is excellent at making FLAC files, but users should be aware it only does this and is not an all-purpose encoder. The MP3 format is not supported, as it's pointless to encode a lower quality file in lossless formats.

If you want to encode WAV files into FLAC or decode FLAC files this is an ideal application.

Pros
  • Excellent lossless format
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Only works with OGG and WAV
