FLAC is a sound utility designed for encoding audio files into the Free Lossless trendy new format.
This format competes directly with the MP3 format, in quality and file capabilities. This means a Free Lossless format file supports the same audio quality that a MP3 file does, but using much less disk space. In this way, it results of great interest for users that carry around their favourite music in portable devices, for whom this format would represent having a bigger quantity of music hits.
Some characteristics that stand out of FLAC are:
- Possibility of encoding multiple files simultaneously.
- Support for adding labels to include the artist’s name, album and more.
-Support for encoding files on OGG and WMA formats.
With FLAC we have the opportunity of testing this new audio format.
