Re: Chapter fails "ACX check."

FLAC files are the same high quality audio files as WAV files, but use "lossless compression" to reduce the file size by about 40% without affecting audio quality. Flac files can be imported into Audacity and played, or if you install a good audio player (such as Foobar2000 ) you can play ...
