[Discuss] Tue, 2007 Nov 6th, 7:00pm - November RCSS meeting

[Anthony Howe]

To alleviate Darren's warning I am confirming that I
will be providing a short presentation on FLAC this
evening at 7:00pm in Engineering & Computer Science
Building Rm 130.

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec.  It can
losslessly compress a wav file to 60% the original
size using linear prediction and Rice coding.  FLAC is
roughly 7 years old and is already used in a wide
range of hardware.   FLAC is a freely available and
patent free codec with its reference implementation
licensed under the BSD license.

Here are some links to read further about FLAC:
