Winamp Plug-in Details

Author's Comment:

Encode FLAC files with the built-in Winamp CD ripping engine.
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. It is similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality: you get a perfect copy of your CD tracks, but with files significantly smaller than .Wavs.This encoder allows to rip CD tracks to native FLAC 1.1.2 files using the Winamp 5 built-in CD ripper (free or pro editions). It offers 9 levels of compression, similarly to the reference command-line encoder.More information about the FLAC format on the official project page http://flac.sourceforge.net/Note: in order to automatically tag produced files, you will need a FLAC input plug-in with full media library support, such as mine.

Encode to FLAC file format
Does what it says... gives you FLAC encoding functionality with the Winamp 5 CD ripping engine. Check out the author's write up for more information on FLAC files... also, be sure to download the author's FLAC file support plugin.
