A Little Midweek-Marclay

Christian Marclay:



The host who introduces and interviews Christian Marclay is AMAZING (and I mean this in the weirdest possible way!)

FLAC!

FLAC or Free Lossless Audio Codec... Great tool to have to email large audio files. You can encode you .wav or .aiff to a .flac file which makes it eons smaller... and then it can be decoded back to it's original state once you send it through the pipeline.

Here is a free standing application to encode/decode: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16458

"FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio..." - http://flac.sourceforge.net/

Enjoy!
