FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see <a href="links.html#hardware">supported devices</a>) just like you would an MP3 file.<br />

FLAC already encodes pretty fast. It is faster than real-time even on weak systems and is not much slower than even the fastest codecs. And it is faster than the CD ripping process with which it is usually paired, meaning even if it went faster, it would not speed up the ripping-encoding process anyway.<br />
<br />
Part of the reason is that FLAC is asymmetric <a href="#general__asymmetry">(see also)</a>. That means that it is optimized for decoding speed at the expense of encoding speed, because it makes it easier to decode on low-powered hardware, and because you only encode once but you decode many times. <br />

FLAC supports linear PCM samples with a resolution between 4 and 32 bits per sample. FLAC does not support floating point samples. In some cases it is possible to losslessly transform samples from an incompatible range to a FLAC-compatible range before encoding.<br />

<a name="general__samples_fp"><b>Will FLAC ever support floating-point samples?</b></a><br />
<br />
It's unlikely FLAC will ever support floating-point samples natively. The main application for floating-point is audio engineering, which demands easy editing and very high speed for both encoding and decoding above everything else.<br />
<br />
FLAC is designed as a consumer audio format. It trades ease of editing for a featureful, robust transport layer more suited for playback, and encoding speed for more compression and faster decompression.

We have had reports of a few cases where a system is passing with flying colors and still getting unrepeatable FLAC errors, and the one thing many (all?) of these systems have in common is an ASUS motherboard (A7V133 or P3V4X) which we suspect is buggy in some way.

WAVE is a complicated standard; many kinds of data besides audio data can be put in it.
