A file with the FLAC file extension is a Free Lossless Audio Codec file, an open source audio compression format. It can be used to compress an audio file to about half its original size.
Audio compressed using the FLAC format is lossless, meaning that no sound quality is lost during compression. This is very different from other popular audio compression formats you've probably heard of, such as MP3 or WMA.
