No. Because Flac and DTS are different file formats. Probably what you have is a DTS files converted to Flac. Flac will play on some audio equipment, but support for flac is still rare. DTS will play on more audio hardware, and tends to be in most of the multichannel DVD amps.
Yes, it can hold the same type of metadata as an MP3 file.
If you download the file onto your computer as a music file (.flac file) and then put it in your music library, you can then put download it onto your phone.
FLAC, stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. It's a Lossless codec, which means that the resulting data from a transcode be exactly/close to same as the original. Many uncommon Portable Media players offer FLAC codec support, however it's rare to use them since Lossless files always tend to be over 100mb. There are Many media players out there that will play .flac files, such as winamp, jetaudio, foobar2000, vlc, kmediaplayer, Xion, and much more.
Yes, but its very very limited. You need the "Xiph components for QuickTime", but its not really worth doing. Because that will only let you play flac files that are in an 'ogg container' rather than in a 'native flac'. What does that mean in English? Ogg, like some other file formats (mp4 in particular) is a 'container'. You can put other file types into this container (vorbis is easily the most common, to the point where when most people say 'ogg files' they really mean 'vorbis files in an ogg container'). So, if you want flac files to work with iTunes, the file must be 'blah blah.ogg' and not 'blah blah.flac'. You cant just change the filename to get it to work either, and as 99.9% of the flac's I've ever seen are 'native flac' its kind of pointless to even bother.
FLAC was created on 2001-07-20.
Zune cannot play FLAC files. Anyway, you can convert FLAC to WMA or to MP3/MP3 with 320kbps in order to play FLAC on Zune.
It would depend upon the type of lossless file you have. For most of the free lossless codecs (wavpack, ape, flac, shorten) you could either use a 'front end' programme like ALL2LAME or Multi frontend. For either of these to work, you will need both the lossless codec (e.g. Flac.exe for flac lossless) and LAME.exe ('L'ames 'A' 'M'p3 'E'ncoder) Or you could use foobar2000, and will only need LAME.exe.
FLAC files are free lossless audio codec files. You can listen to these files by downloading WinAmp onto your computer and then downloading the FLAC Plugin.
