Wikimedia Commons actually accepts FLACs
Hi, I just discovered/remembered that Wikimedia Commons does in fact accept FLAC files. The only trick is that you have to put it in an OGG container. Using the command-line FLAC encoder, you can do with the --ogg option:

flac --ogg name.flac -o name_flac.ogg

It will then upload to Wikimedia Commons with no problem - however I'm contacting you because I don't know how to get a filesize exemption for it, which you seem to have done already for the original files.

I'm in the process of re-encoding as OGG and re-uploading to Commons Archive, and hopefully you know someone who can do the transfer to Commons from there.

After doing the transfer, I recommend deleting the OGGs currently on Commons because they're encoded at such high quality that they're actually about the same size anyway.

Thanks! Dcoetzee 19:48, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
