-FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is
-similar to MP3, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of:
- * the stream format
- * libFLAC, which implements reference encoders and decoders
- * flac, a command-line wrapper around libFLAC to encode and decode .flac
- files
- * input plugins for various music players (Winamp, XMMS, and more in the
- works)
-
-"Free" means that the specification of the stream format is in the public
-domain (the FLAC project reserves the right to set the FLAC specification
-and certify compliance), and that neither the FLAC format nor any of the
-implemented encoding/decoding methods are covered by any patent. It also
-means that the source for libFLAC is available under the LGPL and the
-sources for flac and the plugins are available under the GPL.
