Going technical, FLAC Player decodes files up to 24-bit, 96kHz with hardware output up to 16-bit, 48kHz. The app supports album cover arts and text documents, background playback with iOS 4 and bookmarking for any song. Depending on the size of the files, it might take a few minutes for sync to finish. The interface is minimal and all you have to do is drag the FLAC files in the iTunes “Apps” file manager. FLAC Player for iPhone (and iPad, it’s a universal app) is a simple way to import your lossless albums and songs on your iDevice and listen to them.
Luckily enough for iPhone owners, there’s an for that (sorry Apple, I know it’s a trademark now). Now think about encoding that Beatles collection you have in FLAC and you get the idea.įLAC is great, but isn’t as supported by hardware makers as other standards such as MP3 are. To give you an example, a standard 13-tracks album can go up to 450MB in size. If you lose a CD you care about but have a FLAC digital copy, you have an exact duplicate. Basically, it’s a high-quality compression method that generates state-of-the-art rips and (here’s the downside) huge data files.
