Thank you Michael.  

I think I understand, but just to make sure.  It seems like Spotify uses
Ogg Vorbis, but does not pass through the information needed to
uncompress the file back to it's original form (I think that is
possible; they just don't to it), therefore, when Spotty uncompresses
the file, it does expand the 'container' to FLAC or PCM, however the
'container' is only partially full.  Said another way, the pipe is FLAC
or PCM, but the sound flowing through it is only 1/3 full (320 vs 1440,
etc.).  Or even another way, Spotify provides the music that is
compressed to 320kbps and since they don't (but should!) send the
information necessary to fully uncompress it, converting the music to
FLAC or PCM means the format is different, but the quality is the same. 
If that's true, please let me know.   Fascinating if so.
