This is really silly. Sorry, let me make that a bit clearer... T H I S I S R E A L L Y S I L L Y Storing audio as raw PCM files (.wav files) gains you nothing - it uses more disk space, and the tagging isn't nearly as good. FLAC is lossless - Free Lossless Audio Codec, that's "lossless", as in "no loss". This is easily demonstrable: Take a .wav file: input.wav Encode it as flac: input.flac Decode the flac file: output.wav Compare input.wav and output.wav - it's magic! They're the same. There really is *NO* point, zero, zilch, nada, in storing audio in raw PCM/.wav format, especially if you are encoding it all to FLAC as well.
