Re: Free replacement for shorten (lossless digital audio compressor)?
More info on FLAC: the homepage is
http://flac.sourceforge.net/
The comparison page there compares many encoders including Kexis.
Kexis barely beats shorten on compression and looks like it hasn't
been worked on in a while. FLAC has better compression than Kexis
and shorten, better plugin support, and is all GPL/LGPL.
