Sorry if I am asking silly question. But to the best of my knowledge,
wav is quite fat because it is uncompressed. Would it be better to
compress it losslessly to flac? I personally do this all the time with
my CDs. Is it because the "lossless" compression is actually lossy in
the ears of musician? Or is it because it will be too slow to decode
compressed audio?
