Note:
|
|
Now, for the holy grail of lossless audio codecs, FLAC.
|
|
|
|
FLAC was originally made in 2001 by Josh Coalson, but was later adopted by the Xiph.Org
|
|
foundation, who you will hear about several times throughout this presentation.
|
|
|
|
It started as a fully open standard with no royalties, and is the most popular lossless codec
|
|
for music.
|
|
|
|
Many things are able to play it, even some lower end music players have FLAC support.
|
|
|
|
Similar capabilities to ALAC as well.
