FLAC⚑

FLAC is a open lossless audio codec.

ReplayGain⚑

To calculate and add the replaygain tag to FLAC files, do:

metaflac --add-replay-gain *.flac

Spot fake FLACs⚑

To spot fake FLACs, which are FLAC files generated from a lossy audio file, you can analyze the spectrum with spek or sonic-visualiser. Look for a cutoff in the signal power around 16-18 kHz. If it's a real FLAC, there shouldn't such a cut.
