FLAC is significantly less storage-nomming than WAV, Red Book CDs cousin format. FLAC is generally able to accomplish 60-70% compression (even as little as 35% can be accomplished for low-level music) on any given WAV input, which is better than ALAC and many other lossless codecs. Also, no licensing fees, for anyone, which is a step up over ALAC in this case.
Massively useful for having as a reference when testing lossy codec transparency, I have found.
