Are FLAC songs really that much better than mp3? If so, what is noticeably different?

With the decreasing cost of storage, you can keep stuff on your home machine in a lossless format, then convert it to MP3 (or whatever) for your portable. This comes in way handy if you want to experiment with whatever hare-brained proprietary format your new player likes. |
