Hittade detta svar från "Videofotografen" på ett annat forum. Vet inte ifall det gör dig klokare men jag lärde mig nåt jag trodde att jag kunde,tji fick jag:) MVH
Data file compression is employed in order to reduce bandwidth, file transfer time, and/or storage requirements. A digital recording (such as a CD) encoded to the FLAC Audio format can be decompressed into an identical copy of the original audio data.
Files encoded to FLAC lossless, and Apple Lossless format as well, are typically reduced to about half of the original size, with data transfer rates and bandwidth requirements being reduced accordingly.
From the audiophile focus on sound, there is no difference between WAV (pcm) and any of the lossless compression systems. These include FLAC, MLP, WMA-lossless, AAC-lossless, etc. By definition, lossless means nothing is lost.
WAV files have two downsides. They are bigger and you can't tag them. Tags help library management, and managing a large library is a big deal. If you have a tiny library, it doesn't matter at all.
FLAC files contain the compete range of the music as it was taped.
Please note the difference between lossless (SHN, APE, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, etc) and lossy (MP3, OGG, AAC, WMA, etc) compression types.
Lossy files, i.e. MP3, OGG, AAC, WMA, are compression techniques that cut off different ranges of the music in order to save file space.
Converting an MP3 file to FLAC, SHN, or APE will only bloat the size of the file and will not restore what was lost during compression.
