Winamp, or the player I use, Foobar2000, can handle this file-type. For
those who have never tried Winamp, it has a lot of keyboard shortcuts
and JAWS has scripts built in to aid in using Winamp. Winamp is
available from http://www.winamp.com Foobar2000, while being accessible,
requires you to customize your own shortcut keys, and that actually is
one of its strongpoints. It can be downloaded from
http://www.foobar2000.org Hope this helps, and enjoy listening to the
lossless audio!

So how can one listen to this type of file?
I too like Mike, received something with this extension and using
windows media 11 it wanted to try and find something to allow it to play.

FLAC is a compressed audio file but when it is extracted then it is
completely lossless. In other words nothing has been removed from it
compared to the original recording unlike MP3 files which are considered
lossy.

Just out of curiosity, why is it that this is considered the highest
quality of audio format, yet it's compressed? How does that work when
it seems a compressed mp3 file would have the opposite effect?

Hi Mike,
My pleasure, I just looked it up using the "research it" feature of
JAWS.
Just typing in "FLAC," then choosing Wikepedia, and voila!

Hi Stewart;
Thanks for the added info. I did convert the file to a ".mp3"
format and
this sound file wasn't worth the effort, but learning about the file
extension certainly was! Take care.
Mike

I believe it is a flash video file extention.
FLAC
Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format for lossless
audio data
compression, primarily authored by Josh Coalson.

Hi All;
I recently received an attachment with a ".flac" file extension. I
tried
to
find it in the list of file extensions on the website with no luck.
Would
someone please tell me what type of file this is or what program
is most
commonly used to open such a file? I am running XPSP3 Home, OE, &
Jaws
10
latest. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take
care.
Mike
