Title: FLAC for Mac OS 9.2?
Post by: jlykos on June 26, 2003, 12:15:35 PM

I have heard a lot about this FLAC thing and I am wondering if a program exists to decompress FLAC files from a Macintosh running OS 9.2.  All I have seen are versions for OS X or above.  My computer is pretty old and does not have the system requirements for OS X.  Any assistance would be great!

As far as I know, doesn't exist (see Scott Brown's postings in other forums). This would be the one drawback of FLAC. I do not know if it runs under a DOS/Windows emulator or not, though. That would be something to check out.

I run 9.2.2, but transfer to a PC on a LAN to convert to/from FLAC.

Sorry I didn't read all of Jamie's original post. I guess it'stime for a new computer ;). Just kidding.
