http://live.pirillo.com/ – Lyle wanted to know if iPods could play FLAC and what FLAC is, exactly.

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, and it’s an audio format that doesn’t sacrifice quality during its compression, unlike MP3, which loses quality as it is compressed.

Basically, with FLC you don’t lose information within the sound file.

Can the Apple iPod play FLAC files? No, but you should be able to a piece of transcoding software which will convert FLX into MP3 or AIFF.
