Файлы Flac являются контейнерами, степень сжатия которых может быть настроена в широких пределах, в том числе нулевая (как Wav):
The dbPoweramp designer desgined a compression level “no compression” for flac some time ago. There seem to be people around appreciating this feature. It also shouldn’t be too difficult to make it happen inside flac.
dbPoweramp is offering this feature exclusive as it seems. As we all know the known flac compression level “0” is not “0”. That might be a bit misleading for some people. But that’s not the issue here.
It would be nice to have a compression level “no compression”. Basically an umcompressed PCM track (.wav) in a flac container.
- .wav files could potentially be neglected altogether
- tagging features, replaygain etc. of flac could be used throughout the lossless PCM collection
- postprocessing could be more generalized (less filetypes) in some cases
