PS : I love the FLAC support on N900..just love it!

sorry if this is a lame question..but i always wondered flac kills the processor and all
FLAC is lossless compression and much lighter on the CPU than the algorithms used for decompressing lossy compressed audio. There's not so much fancy maths involved.
