There are plenty of ways around this, but I originally backed up all my
CD's with FLAC a couple of years ago. I did an OK job, but I can not
guarantee that I could get them all back to a CD.  I would like to carry
on with FLAC, it is (as far as I know) the only lossless compression
format that is open source. It works well with the players and it is
flexible.

What is this data loss bug? I have not heard of this. Where do you
suggest is a better place to talk about this?
