Well, Lokks, I must respectfully beg to differ.  Steven S. is absolutely correct.  FLAC is nothing more than a compression scheme for *any* file type.  The fact that there are players that can peek into a FLAC and then decode the file cotained within is simply a bonus.  But FLAC itself is NOT  a music codec like WAV, MP3, DTS, etc.  The codec itself is either lossy or lossless, FLAC has nothing to do with that.  FLAC is simply a lossless means of compressing a file, much like RAR and ZIP...

I've looked repeatedly for bowie stuff in surround.  There seem to be some out there and some out of print and some that aren't real.  I can't figure out which is which.  Anyone know if Bowie ever released in Quad?  Did he release DTS Cds?  I have found 2 SACDs, one ziggy in 5.1 and lets dance in stereo.  I found Young Americans but can't find a retail copy of it, which is suspicious.  Anyway I am not trying to pirate I'm just curious to what was actually released, are there good quality boots of this material, did he do quad (it seems like the perfect fit) but never have seen anything of his in this format?  Anyone know?  I've searched and Amazon makes allusions to enhanced CDs but these could be 20bit redos onto CD.   They mention nothing of multichannels.
