Lossless Audio

(1/3) > >>

DJ_Lane:
Have you ever heard Lossless Audio on your computer? or in a Digital Format?
 
 Mp3's are LOSSY which means they take part of the song away to compress it, LOSSLESS is CD quality in its purest form, too bad it isnt easily compressable

Geoff_Ledak:
This thread http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=130 mentions some lossless audio stuff, although people focused more on lossless image compression.

Mark Kane:
Check out Flac. I just encoded a 1:26 file in wav, and then in Flac.

Wav = 14.5MB
Flac = 10.0MB

Very cool open source codec.

DJ_Lane:
I have heard of FLAC before, it looks very cool.  I am glad to see portable players using it and music artists aswell.  I will check it out

Illusion:
Flac seems to be very good, but can you play a flac file on a normal player?
Or need you special plug ins?
I heared different things about it, but lot's of them say just the opposite !! :rolleyes:
