[peel] Lossy and Lossless Audio compression

[markbursa@...]

>>Erm you are a bit wrong wrong on that one! FLAC is an audio  format. Free 
Lossless Audio Codec is it's full name for  starters.<<
 
 
OK, perhaps I dodn't express myself clearly enough. It is reversible -  you 
can convert a Flac back to a WAV without loss. You cannot do that with MP3  or 
(presumably, as I've never tried) Ogg.

a look  here for a beginners guide.<<





Shall I sit in the corner with the dunce's cap on while doing so? I'm sure  
you don't mean to be patronising, but....
 
 ;-)
 
 
>>You can play FLAC back in most players including i-tunes and  Windows 
media player if you download the right filters. I use Foobar 2000 on  XP.<<
 
 
Why bother? Just convert it back to WAV, so it plays in anything, or can be  
burned to disc so it can be played on a decent hifi rather than tinny  PC 
speakers.
