WAV and FLAC, explained
WAV is uncompressed audio: exact, but big, about 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo. It's the format to edit in.
FLAC is lossless: it keeps every detail of the original at roughly half the size of a WAV. Music collectors use it, but many phones and editors don't open it.
Both are compressed formats, so converting re-encodes the sound once. At a good bitrate the difference is hard to hear.
