FLAC -0 ... -8
Reply #19 –
depends on what's meant by 'free'. shorten was only free for non-commecial use. ogg squish was also around before flac but not actively developed.
I never had to pay for LPAC and RKAU had also a lossy mode. But in that time lossless files were much too big for my (small) disks.
BTW only -8 when I use FLAC
