There are two reasons to use FLAC: saving storage space and adding/editing metadata. Since storage is cheap and ripping software such as dBPoweramp handle metadata for aiff/wav there really is no advantage to flac unless it sounds better on your system.
Aiff or Flac
I did lots of reading last year before I ripped 200 cd's to an SSD drive. The consensus I found was AIFF files were preferable to FLAC. Flac being a compressed format. I know I saw there is a non compressed flac too?
Reason I bring this up, is I'm reading here on some posts some folks ripping to FLAC as their preferred vehicle. I'll do more searches here in Audiogon. If anyone has opinions I'd be grateful.
