Suggested workflow single-file CD archival?
To repeat myself, what is wrong - for archival purposes - with a zip file?
Suggested workflow single-file CD archival?
There is nothing wrong with it, the only real "problem" is that you get a lousy compression ratio. FLAC (and Apple Lossless) give you about a 50% reduction in file size while being lossless (you can regenerate a bit for bit replica of the source WAVE file from the FLAC file).
Suggested workflow single-file CD archival?
To echo the previous responders comments, a ZIP file doesn't compress audio data nearly as well as FLAC. ZIP is a general purpose compression algorithm, while FLAC and others are specifically tooled to take advantage of the typical patterns in audio, resulting in higher compression ratios at the expense of being limited to a specific type of data. |
