FLAC
Free lossless audio codec for bit-exact PCM
BSD-3-Clause
ABOUT
Storing production audio as WAV wastes disk, while lossy codecs destroy samples needed for mastering and ML. FLAC losslessly compresses PCM so archives, DAWs, and datasets keep bit-exact audio at a fraction of uncompressed size.
INSTALL
brew install flacINTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Archive a music library losslessly instead of WAV
2. Encode training audio without introducing codec artifacts
3. Decode FLAC streams in a player or DSP pipeline
4. Ship reference audio with open tools instead of a closed lossless codec
