What's Flac?
------------

The Flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format is a lossless audio
compression format which retains full audio quality, unike lossy formats
like mp3, ogg and wma. In practise it works like a zip archive optimized for
wav files. A typical flac-compressed file is about five times larger than
its mp3 counterpart, but still around half the size of the original wav or
CD track.

After decompressing the flac files, you can burn them on a CD and have the
complete album identical to the master, without any quality loss in the
music.

Feel free to download the flac files of my songs and burn your own copies of
my CDs. That is, after all, the whole purpose of this format.

All utilities needed to handle the flac files are available for free at:

There are also similar formats, such as Ape and Shn.
