    Yeah I know Serato can't play Flacs , was just wondering why someone would choose Flac instead of Wav?

    usually shaves off 25%

    It is a wav when uncompressed (Converted back to wav). The advantage of converting to FLAC is that it saves disk space & does not take as long to upload/download.

    Nice one Phizz, I understand it now!

    So, when I download your Flac files and convert them to Wav's, there's nothing lost?

    Yep, check the bitrate it should say 1411kbps(when converted to wav).

    They should also be in 2 channel stereo, 16 bit & 44.1khz.
