The FLAC project consists of:

• the stream format
• reference encoders and decoders in library form
• flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files
• metaflac, a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files

FLAC has recently joined the Xiph project, which produces other free codecs such as speex and Ogg Vorbis.
