FLAC

FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, is an audio compression format that reduces the size of high-quality digital music files without losing any sound information. Unlike formats like MP3, which sacrifice some audio quality to make files smaller, FLAC preserves the original sound exactly as it was recorded. This makes it popular among audiophiles and music enthusiasts who want to enjoy high-fidelity audio while saving storage space. FLAC files are widely supported by many devices and software, providing a balance of impressive sound quality and manageable file sizes.
