FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) has been updated to version 1.1.1 adding several optimizations and bug fixes. In the updated release optimizations have almost doubled the decoding speed on a G4 or G5 computer. Also in the new version, Ogg FLAC seeking has been fixed. According to the developers, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality.
