  • Free Lossless Audio Codec

    A free, open source codec for lossless audio compression and decompression


    Looks pretty good and useful to use over PCM. It has just been absorbed into the Xiph family. Here's my favorite part from the features section:

    What FLAC is not:

    * SDMI compliant, et cetera. There is no intention to support any methods of copy protection, which are, for all practical purposes, a complete waste of bits. (Another way to look at it is that since copy protection is futile, it really carries no information, so you might say FLAC already losslessly compresses all possible copy protection information down to zero bits!) Of course, we can't stop what some misguided person does with proprietary metadata blocks, but then again, non-proprietary decoders will skip them anyway.

    If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.
