Description Brion Vibber 2011-10-31 23:13:46 UTC 
For uploading higher-quality audio source material, it would be nice to support open lossless formats.

Transcoding to our standard output formats (eg .oga Vorbis) would be useful to keep playback support consistent.
Comment 1 Derrick Coetzee 2012-04-07 20:06:52 UTC 
There actually already is support for Ogg FLACs (FLAC in Ogg container) - see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:File_types#Ogg. However I don't believe it transcodes to a lower bandwidth format during playback. This would be really useful for users with limited bandwidth, although I'd like it to be a user preference since users with plentiful bandwidth really might want to stream the FLAC. I'm not sure what the behavior should be for logged out users.
