FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. As its name indicates, is an audio file that is always the quality of original audio data (eg, a CD track). Unlike lossy formats throw parts of the audio stream to produce smaller files, the FLAC compression without sacrificing sound quality and may still about half the size of the file.In the past, this codec has been used primarily for the backup CD.However, with large capacity hard drives and broadband Internet connections becoming increasingly common, FLAC is now used to listen everyday online and streaming audio.

Cost.

Finally, I recommend using dbpoweramp or SUPER to convert.Flac files. The first is easier to use, while the latter supports a number of impressive audio (and video) formats. Both work well on most versions of Windows.
