Well, the minimum compression you can do with mp3 is probably 320 kbps, which is still about 4 to 1, unless some encoders can do a higher bit rate than that.

FLAC is used because its far smaller than Wave and lossless though FLAC is bigger than MP3 etc.

The upshot of all this is that you get the full sound you'd get with FLAC as you would with Wave but in a smaller file size.

The joke is that MP3 files - some I've seen - have been done using minimum compression and so on and you have to ask the question, why didn't these people create FLAC files instead? The resulting FLAC files wouldn't have been much bigger but would have been of better quality.

No sir. I was just saying I didn't realize they did other formats too. Since
all I keep hearing about is the WAV files.

No reason why you can't have HD music in different formats.
