About the FLAC format
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
FLAC appeared in 2001. Decoding restores the original bit for bit, while the file is usually 50–70% of the WAV size. Hi-res recordings and music archives are often distributed in FLAC.
Not every phone or car stereo plays FLAC; for portable devices it is converted to MP3 or M4A, keeping the original FLAC in the archive.
Best for music archives and listening in maximum quality.
