Hello,

I am wondering if any one has experience with or comprehensive information on FLAC (free lossless audio codec) and its effect on audio. Here is the information page <http://flac.sourceforge.net/faq.html>.

I cannot address FLAC because I have not used it. However, I use Monkeys Audio (APE) after I determined that it is truly lossless. I invite you to follow a similar path with FLAC.

I simply took a reasonable WAV file, compressed it, decompressed the result, and compared the processed file with the original. Since they were identical (byte-for-byte), I felt I had verified the claim that Monkeys Audio is lossless.
