Thanks rob. Yes I use dropbox.
There Is another one called we transfer, I've heard about, but not checked yet.
Don't know if it's a simpler option.
Ross.

By the way, I use DropBox transfer these days.
That's very convenient, you can send any file on your computer and the link is
valid for 7 days + you will be notified when the file is being downloaded.
Yes, aac should have the best audio quality but I think I had previously some
problems opening them in Reaper.
I'm at least certain that I couldn't import/listen to m4a files until I put
the right decoder into the program path.

Hey Phil and Rob, thanks.
And Thanks Phil for that info. Will explore acc for progress files.
On a quick check they seem to be about twice the size of mp3. But that
was before I had my morning porridge and coffee. So perception could
have been anywhere.
Ross.
Ozone 8 does them. Suppose they sound better than mp3? I haven't done
listening tests yet.

Hey Ross. Use aac/m4a here for works in progress as the file size is
smaller than flack and most clients wouldn't be able to tell the
difference anyway 😊 Always give clients final product in wav
although Windows 10 will work fine with flack.

Thanks Jackie,
Yes so the issue of the file size comes in to it as you say.
I do send waves by putting them in the dropbox public folder and
sending a link.
So would use the same method I guess with flack.
Was wondering could most folks these days using win 10 be able to open
flack?

Ross, it rather depends on how the files are being sent, specifically,
the size of the file the sending method will accommodate. If you're
sending via email, for example, many providers have limits on
attachment sizes. Same goes for cloud providers, ie, Dropbox,
Sendspace, etc. Clearly the best choice is to have a server, either
your own or someone elses that you pay to host project files, which
can generally accommodate far larger files than most of the current
cloud providers permit
Because flak is a lossless filetype, the size of the file being sent
can obviously become quite large, depending on number of tracks, length, etc.
Mp3's are considerably smaller, the downside being, of course, that
there will be loss involved.
The other question, of course, is does your daw support flak? Most
seem to nowadays, but that is by no means a given.
That didn't answer your query. Perhaps, though, it provided food for
thought.

Wondered, anyone have thoughts about whenever sending a compressed
file to anyone, the trend is now to use lossless forms, and leave go
the mp3 format?
Is flack or similar in more general use these days, and so you would
be pretty safe using that rather than mp3?
I often send progress files to clients, so would flack be generally
accessible these days.
