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 ;)

    Win XP kicks the ass of OS X big time. Microsoft has hired the best professional desktop designer experts of the world. Bill gates is not kiding. I was an OS X user until I tried Win XP: I never looked back.

    Just my 0.2 cents

    --- Don't believe the hype.

    I'm not trying to troll but...
    I'll have a go anyway

    I did a very quick experiment
    That is, between /. posts I compressed my fav chip munks album

    last time FLAC was mentioned on here...
    which was January 30th, 2003

    and was not impressed in the slightest.
    well what can I say, I live by your words

    yada yada... differed by 20-30MB in favour of FLAC
    Hmmm, and if you have 100 albums to store?!

    I was not impressed in the slightest.
    funny that, neither am I

    This is Phish. The fact that they were not-stoned long enough to put ANY sort of page up is amazing.
