el flac es mucho mejor que el 320...
solo por el peso de un tema ya puedes sacar tus propias concluisones...
un 320 que pesa entre 10 a 15 mb, convertido en flac toma un peso de 50 a 70 mb dependiendo de la naturaleza de los sonidos que tiene.
como experiencia personal, el flac tiene un mejor/mayor desempeño/fidelidad a mayores frecuencias o volumenes, como lo quieras llamar, por eso es preferido entre las personas que trabajan en el rubro como dj y otros.
eso.
up....
te dejo un poco de info.
OK... lets see... i saw alot of peeps asking about FLACs, what is it, how do i play it etc... so i thought that a FAQ like this will help you understand and appreciate FLAC and get familiar with it.. so here it goes... i want to thank Rossoneri for this excellent FAQ and for letting me use it
so there it is

Well a lot of people seem to have questions on Lossless Audio and I was made a topic to explain what lossless audio is.
The most of you (or all of you) are familiar with the MP3 format. This is a lossy format meaning, during the "ripping" process, a lot of data is discarded to keep the file size small and manageable. Now the higher the bitrate of the mp3 file, the larger the file (and the better the quality). Hence 192kbps mp3's will be smaller than 320kbps. Most people will be able to distinguish the quality between a 128kbps mp3 and a 320kbps mp3.
Now let's take it to the the next level. This of lossless audio as an mp3 with bit rates up to 1000kbps or even higher. Ok that explanation isn't really accurate but it's a simple way of looking at it.
What lossless audio really is, is audio that is lossless! During the "ripping" process (i.e., when you rip the audio from a CD to a file) the ripping program will convert the audio on the CD to wav format. This wav file is essentially a lossless format and the ripping program has not discarded any information from the audio on the CD.
Now this field of audio encoding and decoding is kinda too complex for this little forum and most people don't care about the science behind lossy and lossless encoding algorithms. If you do care, google it But here's a link to start you off:
Audio compression (data) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
QUESTION 1: Why do I want ANYTHING in lossless format anyway?
Answer: Because it's like listening to the CD itself. Assuming you did buy the CD and let's say your best friend happened to use it as a coaster for his steaming hot cup of hot chocolate and then spilled it all over your favourite CD, you could go to your local CD store to pick it up. But let's say it's discontinued. What do you do? That way you can recreate the CD from scratch by burning it using Nero. Since it is lossless, you are getting a copy of the CD in it's store bought format - perfect!
QUESTION 2: Why are they so large?
Answer: Because there is no data discarded.
QUESTION 3: What are the different types of lossless formats? I see APE, FLAC....what's going on? I am confused!!!
Answer: OK there are a TONNE of lossless formats out there. Unless you plan on encoding a bunch of CD's in lossless format and plan on using it over different platforms, you don't have to worry about most of these formats here. (If you really are interested in all the lossless formats out there and plan on writing a thesis on it, care, check out this website:

Most Popular Lossless Formats : FLAC, APE, WAVEPACK
FLAC
http://flac.sourceforge.net/
FLAC is a lossless codec developed by Josh Coalson. It's part of the Xiph multimedia portfolio, along with Ogg Vorbis and Theora.
FLAC PROS
* Open source
* Very fast decoding
* Hardware support (Karma, Phatbox, etc.)
* Very good software support
* Error robustness
* Streaming support
* Supports multichannel audio and high resolutions
* Tagging support (FLAC tags)
* Pipe support
* ReplayGain compatible
FLAC CONS
* Relatively slow encoding
* No hybrid/lossy mode
* Doesn't support RIFF chunks
FLAC Other features
* Supports embedded CUE sheets (with limitations)
* Includes MD5 hashes for quick integrity checking
* Fits the Ogg and Matroska containers
If you are scratching your head don't worry, read on.
QUESTION 4: OK OK .. So there are three main formats. What's the most popular and why?
Answer: FLAC is the most popular because it transcends all platforms as far as I know and it is supported by hardware digital audio players like the Rio Karma. If you want to release something, do it in FLAC! However, releases in APE and WAVEPAC format can be uncompressed and recompressed in FLAC because, guess what, it's all lossless! All you need is the front end decoder from the websites of the respective authors of the format and a push of a few buttons will decompress the thing to wav. Then you can re-encode it to whatever format you like.
(on a side note, if you use foobar2000 from
foobar2000, and you have downloaded all the codecs from the lossless audio sites, you would be able to convert from one format to the other directly in foobar. For more on that check out
foobar2000)
QUESTION 5: I didn't read the FAQ above because I am too damn lazy. Just give me the links as to what I have to download and from where!!!
Answer: OK you lazy bastard. Here it is
FLAC download page:
http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html
NOTE: Several virus scanners are reporting that FLAC contains a trojan; this is a FALSE POSITIVE.
APE download page:
Monkey's Audio - a fast and powerful lossless audio compressor
WAVEPACK download page:
WavPack downloads
QUESTION 6: AWESOME. I see all the plugins in those links above. So technically all I do is, download and install the frontend/plugin and winamp or foobar2000 should be able to play them?
Answer: YES FINALLY YOU GET IT!!!!
QUESTION 7: How do I make a lossless backup of my CD's?
ANSWER: Read on here:

QUESTION 8: Why do some people say they can't hear a difference between mp3's that are 320kbps and lossless?
Answer: Well, unless you have dog ears or supersonic hearing equipment, you won't be able to pick out MUCH difference. Personally I have found slight differences between the two and definitely prefer the lossless. However the point of lossless encoding is NOT only higher quality audio but to reproduce exact copies of the original recording.
(on a side note: higher quality equipment like a decent sound card, good headphones or speakers etc. does help you feel the difference )
QUESTION 9: How do I thank you for this awesome FAQ?
Answer:thank Rossoneri instead who built this awesome FAQ and let me use it
also support the artists If you like a CD - BUY IT!
no se nota na que me gusta el formato culiao
