PLAYING FLAC FILES

Postby bintol » 10 Aug 2007 17:33

I am new to VLC.

If I play FLAC audio files through VLC do they play in compressed quality or are they decompressed and played as decompressed files?

Thanks

Does that mean they are converted in some way because if they are played as FLAC files doesn't that mean they are compressed? Thanks

Ah-hah, now I see: FLAC is lossless in sound quality - I hadn't realised that. Same as the original CD. (sorry, still a bit new to all this).
