Subject:	SCOUG-Help: .flac music files

Yesterday I sent an email to Peter Skye and I am thinking his
spam-filtering system is working well and he didn't read the message.
Knowing of his expertise in the music recording industry, I would like to
get his opinion on .flac files. My son sent me a cd of .flac files of
recordings from the late 1060's early 1970's from the BBC radio show TOP
GEAR. All the recordings are in mono, but the sound is excellent. I
searched for a way to play the cd in os/2 without success. There are
plug-ins for linux, but I couldn't figure out how to install and play. I
found success with VLC program in BeOS. Interestingly, I have 4 variants
of BeOS and two play the .flac files with VLC extremely well with
wonderful sound quality; two produce very poor quality sound. There is a
ton of information found with your friend "google."

Just wondering if .flac files might be a better way to go than mp3 or ogg
files.
