File Description | FLAC is an open-source audio format that is mainly developed by Josh Coalson. Its goal is to get lossless audio compression, which means FLAC should stay archival quality and be truly lossless for all input. FLAC comes with several tools. One of the useful tools is metaflac - to create a FLAC fingerprint file, which contains the checksum and filename information for a FLAC file. The fingerprint file is generally named "ffp.txt" and created as: metaflac --show-md5sum flac_file_names > ffp.txt |
