I had OPlayer on an Android tablet once and it was pretty darn neat.
Didn't know it was available for iOS.

FLAC is used because its far smaller than Wave and lossless though FLAC is
bigger than MP3 etc.
The upshot of all this is that you get the full sound you'd get with FLAC as
you would with Wave but in a smaller file size.
The joke is that MP3 files
See my comments re .AAC and .ALAC. Lots of non-iThings play these
formats, too, so this may be the solution for which you are looking.

Actually no. Minimum compression yields maximum bit rate. Minimum
compression means you compress it minimally.

OK--stupid question--what program can be loaded on an iOS device that
will play these other formats and get me out of the iTunes world?

You're not mistaken and that's just one App of at least half a dozen I can

Another of my favourite players for IOS is something called oPlayer which is

Well, the minimum compression you can do with mp3 is probably 320 kbps,
which is still about 4 to 1, unless some encoders can do a higher
Speaking of MP3, I had great pleasure in deleting 80,000+ MP3 files from my
network just now, as I have everything I owned in MP3 format in FLAC - and much
more besides - there was very little point in keeping the collection.
My new Wireless Hard Drive hasn't arrived yet though it will be a
Dane,
Your analysis of the FLAC format omits the lack of support on Apple
mobile devices. The iPhone and iPad and their iOS operating system
stands as the most coveted and popular consumer technology in the
world. Yet, FLAC files cannot be played on these devices or Apple’s
media player, iTunes.
Okay I accept that without question but you forgot to mention that a Windows
nor a Mac computer can play FLAC files without third party software so what's
the difference?
Third Party software or Apps are available for IOS etc that will allow the
playing of FLAC content as third party software
Dane,
The difference is the tight integration of the Apple ecosystem in the
company’s mobile platform. Windows is designed to be an agnostic
multipurpose device. The included Windows Media Player can easily be
substituted with another media player, like Winamp, that supports
FLAC. By contrast, it

Yes that's right, just replace Windows Media Player on your Windows Machine

With FLAC you can control the compression rate but that doesn't make any
difference in audio quality, it just takes longer to compress the file the
smaller it is and - even then - you don't

Hi!
Then i have to ask if ogg files has larger compression than mp3?
I can't hear no difference so maybe it doesn't matter.

I've nover used OGG, I know some people use nothing but OGG but its all the
same, OGG, MP3, AAC and so on are Lossee formats, that is data is made
redundant when they are created thus the quality of the compressed file has
been compremised whereas FLAC is Lossless and no loss of audio quality
Hell yeah. Ah okay. I like Flac too, I've heard the ones you've uploaded and
I love it.
