Re: What's the difference between FLAC and AAC?
No, it's not something that has been talked about until recently when the Windows Media lossless format came into being. FLAC has been around for some years, but hasn't gained a great deal of attention. There's an Apple lossless format as well. Those are the big three. There's a really good Wikipedia on lossless formats, but I can't remember its title at the moment.

Many players that support Windows Media files will support Windows Media lossless. I use FLAC for archival purposes.

Re: What's the difference between FLAC and AAC?
High List Members, I use to rip my cds in MP3, but I wasn't to happy with the sound quality. So I changed my settings to WMA lossless, and the sound quality is just like that what's on the cd! I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get flak and og files to play in WMP 11. There is a chance that these two file types may play in Wenamp, but I don't know enough about that either. - Original Message - From: Bruce Toews [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 9:09 AM Subject: Re: What's the difference between FLAC and AAC?

Re: What's the difference between FLAC and AAC?
Wel, FLAC is lossless. It's one of several lossless formats, and, assuming the claims about losslessness are true, something which everyone seems to accept, then the only difference between lossless formats is the fact that they're different but equal formats. I think Windows Media lossless is slightly larger than FLAC, too.

Re: What's the difference between FLAC and AAC?
For plenty of information about FLAC see the FLAC home page at http://flac.sourceforge.net. For plenty of information about AAC see this Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding. I hope this helps.

Hi, Steve: On Sun, 12 Aug 2007 09:41:29 +1000, you wrote: see this Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding. I hope this helps. Well, the Wikipedia article wasn't so great. It explained what the differendce betwixt and between lossy and lossless is all about, but didn't give a clear list of file extensions or programs that produce lossless but size-compressed audio. It seems like the best answer is still FLAC. Now, for the ten million dollar question, are there yet any netcasting tools that broadcast in this format, or does the format not really matter, it's all just a bunch of bits and bytes anyway? I suspect the answer is no to the first and definitely yes to the second--i.e., no netcast tools, and it *does* matter.

P.S.: The FLAC home page has all the info one could possibly need/want about this codec, except for using it in Internet radio applications. That's got to be coming soon I should hope/think.
