Over the years I've learned a lot from reading these forums, but I've never posted because you guys are, for the most part, way over my head.

Still FLAC is my format of choice, and I wanted to 'give back' or whatever, so I made this for my fellow FLAC fanatics. It's a joke. Don't get your feathers in a ruffle. Just a joke. Just a joke.

Hope you like it.

(If you have a FLAC fanatic friend, and you want to really p*ss them off / freak them out, then send them to that URL. Too bad it's not a more convincing URL, but I don't think I want to buy server space just for a joke.)

ROTFL. 33 12 H 4. You know http://www.huhcorp.com (unfortunately now with 'ads by gooooooogle')?

The Download button is broken. :<
Running Firefox 1.0.7 on Win2000+SP4, if that matters ...

Bah! Use Lzip and don't look back! http://web.archive.org/web/20050304032742/....net/index.html

edit: Just look at its license. Beautiful! http://web.archive.org/web/20050304003804/...et/license.html

"LossyFLAC uses advanced sound ellipses to randomly discard data from within your music" !

Hehe. You made my day, thanks.

It's not 'broken' but it does create a pop-up so you've probably got pop-up blocking turned on. I'm using Firefox 1.5 on Windows XP SP2, so our setups are similar.

It's not actually worth it, so don't bother. It's just s little window that comes up with a progress bar that says to 'Please Wait while HZ Player converts your music files to lossyFLAC' which ought to scare at least four people. At least enough to shut the window quickly.

"Sound is like a giant pizza. When we spin the sound very quickly, certain parts fly off, leaving behind the good stuff."



Too much!

Thanks!

There's a typo in liscensing

what a ripoff!!
people, don't hit the download button, I'm serious. trustworthy as I am, I did and guess what happened? while I waited for the transformer I had a quick shower and dropped the soap. wanting to grab it, fell down and was unconscious for about two days. when I woke I noticed that sb broke into my flat and had stolen my computer and stuff!
THIS SITE MAKES YOUR COMPUTER DISAPPEAR DON'T USE IT!
u see, I couldn't even type this message as my computer... uhm, gotta run.

Oh shoot. I'll fix that. Thanks.

Allright!, now all my music is in LossyFLAC!, Yeah!

Best quote from the site: "When we spin the sound very quickly, certain parts fly off"

Wow, that is some seriously funny stuff. Just looking at all the slick graphical things makes it look semi-legit. Then the fun starts when reading. Very good...

I thought it to be one of funiest parts, like a typical malicious site wanting to trick you into something you didn't ask for.

It seems to me that the download link is quite broken, however I managed to get it.
I uploaded it there:
http://gabriel.mp3-tech.org/lame/lossyFlac.7z

No one?

Humm....
I re-uploaded it:
http://gabriel.mp3-tech.org/lame/lossyFlac.zip

I got the same error. now it's something differnet...
error message: ~ could not start application because it's configured incorectly.
(WinXPSP2)

Strange, it works here (w2k and 2003x64). I'll have a look over the weekend.

It worked for me. Win2K SP4, DLL in same folder as EXE.

I don't have the file with me, but it produced a flac around half the size of FLAC.EXE.

I must say, no offence Gabriel, but I think I prefer my music with all the toppings intact. I hope I'm not breaking TOS8 here.
