you can't yet.. i'm fairly sure it'll come soon (within weeks), though

anyway, Aquamarine makes for awkward abbreviations (AAC, anyone? ), but you could always call it something horribly presumptuous, like (for instance) Mozart's Choice?  (seeing how it's his birthyear )
Why not just Mozart then?

And why must we use .3 extension? I mean, come on, even Civilization IV (anyone played that game too?) for its savegames use the extension (I'm not making this up) .Civ4SavedGame

So the extension can be .mozart

Hopefully someone does not mistake this as a new graphic file by the makers of Mozilla...

Since it's supposed to decode fast, maybe TNT? Or Exploder

because 'mozart' as the file extension icw the same name for the codec sux, while 'mozart's choice' is a bit more of a proper statement

a too long extension is not preferable, as we'll have to type it in the dos box etc after all,
yalac -d foobarbaz.ext
would be better for lazy users than
yalac -d foobarbaz.longlongext
right?

btw I once wanted the extension .mc2 for another multimedia-related project.
It was taken from Einstein's formula,
connotating "huge power in a small object" and "(as fast as) light speed."
I thought it was cool. altho it was not accepted.

Accepted by who (or what)?

Naming? What about Calf, Cala, Oidua Seyknom, Gorf Mitpo or COS (short for "Cedoc Oidua Sselssol")?

or you could call it HAc, if the HA site owners wouldn't mind
it seems a name as good as any anyway

Sorry to drive this thread back off topic, but how does YALE (Yet Another Lossless Encoder) sound?

It's ok to look for a better name!

I usually dont't respond to posts regarding the naming, because i don't have much time now. But sooner or later i will carefully look through them.

Tell me who that offended.  Naming the codec RELACS while it sounds cool, would sound egotistical.

I think YALAC is fine.  Is there any point in successive quoting, other than having a massive amount of fun ?

I can't help but think Yalac will stay now.

I still don't like the ALAC connotation, but soon it will seem strange to know it by any other name.

That surely is some ridiculous quoting.

What's important, is how it will be pronounced in the first interview the media will have with its author

Then it ought to be simply YAC
(pronounced as "yuck")



or maybe YAK ("Kompressor") with a yak as a logo?

  Ok then... Wouldn't help the confusion
 
I thought of dropping the 'L' instead but Yaac would compete with quite a wide range of things, including a Mac audio converter, a game, a password cracker, a protein and an atomic clock.

There is also a bunch of Young Adult Advisory Centres and other beneficial acronyms as well as some phone software and a breakout game written in Delphi, the language of choice of Yalac. Which brings me to the next subject:

Why couldn't you use Delphi to write a DOS program? It looks like WINCRT is there for this purpose:

Also it should compile on Linux if someone has Kylix to do it.
