Phish Moves To FLAC

Posted by timothy on from the what's-the-downside dept.

sethadam1 writes "Due to customer feedback, Phish, who have served as pioneers in the pay-per-download online music arena with their livephish.com site, have recently converted to FLAC compression for their high-quality download offerings. Could this be an indication that FLAC may be adopted as the de facto lossless audio compression standard?" And fans were using it long before ;)

    But what's the compression ratio?

    For MP3 we know it's about 1/10. A 10MB wav will be converted to a 1MB mp3.

    What about FLAC?
    This is the most interesting thing.
