FLAC is for Free Lossless Audio Codec. That is, other than MP3 and most other file formats, it does preserve the original quality and still does some significant compression in file size. More info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC A nice conversion (and more) tool is foobar2000: http://www.foobar2000.org/ ("nice" regarding to features, not to look and feel...) You might also want to try MediaMonkey (http://www.mediamonkey.com/) which can handle FLAC out of the box. It comes in a free and a commercial version (commercial has more features).
