Dear David,
As a person who listens to a lot of music from my computer ...
I can say with complete absolute and positive certainty:
Once you try flac
You never go back
The problem is that a song that is a mp3 file even at a bit rate of 320
which might be 7 MB in size
Will be 24 MB in flac!
But the difference is incredible!
With Best Regards,

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
