Questions about WAV and FLAC.
Check the format behavior, limitations, and follow-up options before processing a real file.
FLAC is what WAV should be for storage: the same audio, bit for bit, at a fraction of the size. Decoding a FLAC gives back the exact original samples, so nothing is sacrificed — which makes it the standard choice for archiving masters, live recordings, and vinyl rips without burning disk space on raw PCM.
