Hi,

I found that package descriptions in flac and flacon are the same.
It seems that the both descriptions are for flacon package.
flac: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/flac
flacon: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/flacon

Flacon extracts individual tracks from one big audio file containing
the entire album of music and saves them as separate audio files.
To do this, it uses information from the appropriate CUE file.
Besides, Flacon makes it possible to conveniently revise or specify
tags both for all tracks at once or for each tag separately.

I think the right description for flac is like following and upstream webpage is https://xiph.org/flac/

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC
is similar to Ogg Vorbis, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of
the stream format, reference encoders and decoders in library form,
flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files, metaflac,
a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files and input plugins for
various music players.

I infer these informations from the flac specification file
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/flac/sources/spec/

I am sorry if this is my misunderstandings.

Thanks,
