"Free Lossless Audio Codec". It's like many of the audio codecs out
there, but lossless. The flac homepage
(http://flac.sourceforge.net/) gives good information. If you have
an audio player that supports it, and a set of headphones that can
take advantage of the improvement, it's worth using. It's also
great as an archival medium.
It's not just for high end headphones. I'll be sending the music to
my home stereo system from the computer. You could DJ a dance with
high quality equipment, and tracks stored in flac sound better than
mp3 there, too. If it were just for headphones, I probably wouldn't
bother re-ripping all my audio CDs to flac.

That's absolutely right, of course. Most of my listening is done
through headphones, so I guess I tend to fixate on that. Naturally,
anywhere that higher-quality sources are an advantage, flac is a great idea.
