What is madFLAC?
Note that FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. It is a type of audio file format that uses lossless compression to reduce the file size of audio files. It will do this while maintaining the same high audio quality as the original source. This means that when a FLAC file is compressed. Note again that it does not lose any data from the original audio file, unlike lossy formats like MP3 or AAC. FLAC files are often used for archiving and sharing high-quality music, as well as for streaming and playback on devices that support the format.
