Phish Moves To FLAC

http://slashdot.org/articles/03/06/24/0462...tid=141&tid=188

"Due to customer feedback, Phish, who have served as pioneers in the pay-per-download online music arena with their livephish.com site, have recently converted to FLAC compression for their high-quality download offerings. "

This is actually great news.
While it is true that Phish is not mainstream enough for this initiative to make a huge impact, the nature of the Phish fan (not the pothead, I mean the computer savvy one) maybe will make the effect of this grow.
Maybe some other fan-listening bands like Radiohead will follow. And Radiohead IS mainstream!
Anyway you look at this is a great thing.
More power to Phish.

Altough, now that I think of it...FLAC is probably not a natural choice for a band called "Phish" (maybe they should chose the Ogg version of FLAC) 
I'm the one in the picture, sitting on a giant cabbage in Mexico, circa 1978.

I am one of the people you describe above, and I am thrilled to see the community move towards FLAC, and away from SHN (although ssamadhi's SHN plugin compensates for many of the format's shortcomings). I also think that Phish's business model beats the hell out of the Clear Channel plan...

now all I want is an ipod-like device to play FLAC (a car stereo, too - that can read FLAC and SHN CD-RS, but I digress)...

Everybody in the community uses a version Speek's frontend, too

Yeah, a FLAC-playing CDR deck would be cool.  I stand ready to help out on the Neuros.  That too would be sweet.

you can play flac stuff on a kenwood music keg, i believe.

i know you can rip to flac w/ the included software.


i only know this because we installed it in my roommates tahoe, and i had never seen the flac format before that.
