If you have obtained a file with the extension .flac or .fla (although .fla is very popular as a work file of Macromedia Flash) then you have obtained FLAC audio. FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec . It is open source and provides lossless audio compression. This means that even though the audio is compressed, it will still maintain its exact original quality. However, since it is lossless, music stored in this format would definitely take up more space than say MP3 or Musepack audio or any other lossy compression.

Click here for a very comprehensive guide on how to play FLAC quickly in a number of players, or setup Windows Media Player to play the format

Foobar 2000 is an excellent audio player that can play back the FLAC audio format. If you wish to burn music from the FLAC audio format to an audio CD, you can get a plugin for Nero Burning Rom here .
