      PortSystem 1.0

      Name: flac
      Version: 1.2.1
      Category: audio
      Platform: darwin
      Maintainers: nomaintainer
      Description: Free Lossless Audio Codec

      Long Description: FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified,FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio iscompressed in FLAC without throwing away any information. This issimilar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you canplay back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo) just like you would an MP3 file.
