What is WAV?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format that stores raw PCM audio data. While WAV provides excellent quality, the files are very large because they contain no compression. A typical 3-minute song in WAV format can be 30-50 MB.
What is FLAC?
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source audio format that uses lossless compression. This means it compresses audio files like a ZIP file does for documents - reducing file size while preserving every bit of the original audio data. When you play a FLAC file, it sounds identical to the original WAV.
Why convert WAV to FLAC?
Converting WAV to FLAC is ideal when you want to save storage space without compromising audio quality. FLAC files are typically 40-60% smaller than WAV files, making them perfect for archiving large music collections. FLAC also supports metadata tags better than WAV, and is widely supported by modern audio players and streaming devices.
