+flake (open-souce FLAC audio encoder)
+
+Flake is an open-souce FLAC audio encoder.
+It was developed as an independent implementation of the FLAC specification,
+and is meant to be an alternative to the FLAC reference encoder.
+While Flake does not yet have many of the advanced features of the reference encoder, it does have the benefit of faster encoding.
+
+Features:
+
+* Commandline encoder frontend
+* libflake library which can be used by other programs
+* Fast encoding
+* Compression modes which closely mirror the reference encoder, plus additional modes for higher compression
+* A variety of LPC order search methods, each of which has its own speed vs. compression tradeoff
+* Variable block size encoding: an experimental feature which is allowed as part of the specification,
+ but is not currently implemented in the reference encoder.
