I would expect universal condemnation for anyone who would ask if FLACC
were designed for floppies.
Er. Is this a somewhat tortuous joke about the large file sizes of the
FLAC audio compression format, its resultant large file sizes, and the
number of floppies you'd need to store them?

Apparently it averages about 9MB per minute. So a 3min song would need
about 20 diskettes of 1.4MB.
