FLAC File Converter

FLAC is a lossless audio format that shrinks music files without removing any sound quality. It uses a special prediction-and-residual technique to compress audio efficiently, allowing it to deliver smaller files than WAV while still being bit-perfect. It works with sample rates up to very high studio levels and supports up to eight audio channels, so it’s flexible for everything from simple songs to surround mixes. Because it has built-in error checking and a fully open source format, FLAC has become one of the most trusted and widely used choices for people who care about preserving their audio exactly as it was recorded.

When was the FLAC format created?
