Introduction
What’s FLAC?
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. FLAC is an audio compression codec that is lossless. Unlike lossy codecs such as MP3 and Vorbis, it does not remove any information from the audio stream.
A slightly longer introduction on the FLAC format is available at this page.
What does my encoder do?
My encoder allows to use the Winamp integrated CDs ripping engine to create your own FLAC files.
It follows the Winamp encoders interface, and as a matter of fact is perfectly integrated within Winamp 5. It allows to create native FLAC files, using the same presets than the official command-line encoder. When used in pair with my modified FLAC input encoder, produced FLAC files will also be properly taggued (title / artist / album / year / genre/ etc.).
How is it made?
My encoder is written in the C++ language. It makes use of the Winamp 5 SDK as well as the Win32 API. It is also statically linked to the libFlac v1.1.1.

«Just wanted to thank you on the great job you did with the FLAC plugin. It work perfectly with the dynamic library plugin that I also use. »
