"Write 500000 zeros to a text file, then write one 1, then write 499999 more zeros". ![]() But using english, I was able to describe (compress) it to just one short sentence that if written to a file would take only 32 bytes. If you do that, the final file will be about 1Mb. Let use English as a compression algorithm. The short answer: MP3 is lossy, and flac is lossless, meaning mp3 has the option of removing or inserting information in the data, making the compression more efficient. Encoding mp3 to FLAC is pointless because it will only take more space and sounds exactly the same as the mp3.īut to answer why: The full answer is vey complex, and requires understanding of information theory. With mp3, If you decode it and reencode it a few dozen times the final result would be unrecognizable. with FLAC, you can decode and reencode the file over and over without loosing any quality ever. ![]() the job of FLAC is not better "sounding" audio (although it may sound a little better), its for archival audio. First off, I suspect you are misunderstand the purposes of the different codecs.
