| Description | 🔵 FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, is a binary audio format used for reducing the file size of audio files while maintaining their quality. Essentially, it's a lossless audio compression format. FLAC files provide an exact copy of audio CDs but are significantly smaller in size compared to CD and WAV files. However, FLAC files are still bigger than MP3 files, sometimes by a factor of 16. The FLAC format has gained popularity due to its superior sound quality. Unlike MP3, which is a lossy format, FLAC is lossless, which means no audio elements are removed to reduce the file size. All elements, such as reverbs, transients, and guitar sounds, are preserved even after compression. |
