You need decent equipment and good* ears to tell, the difference is massive then. I only have flac for the music I listen to over and over.
*good isn't really the right word, accustomed? attuned? ie, you know the music you are listening to intimately and are aware of your equipments quirks.
i think yes it is the best and has more fillrate

It all depends on how good your hearing is. I have been listening to loud music for many years but still have perfect hearing. It's pretty much a miracle. I have done tests on myself and I can hear the difference between 320kbps and wav and at 35 I can also hear the sounds that only teens are supposed to hear, the kind that will scare them away.
It all depends. If you have average hearing it's fine with both 320 or flac.

i kinda like that from flac, all the other (smaller in size) formats can be created (as needed).

apart from the inherent sound quality differences b/t .flac and .mp3 files, .flac is great for archival purposes: .flac/.wav files could be used to create 100% accurate copies of cds/dvds, where ripping/transcoding .mp3 files would obviously fall very short of an accurate copy not only in the data, but in the sound, too

I wouldn't say it's better unless you have a very good audio equipment to understand the difference . But with flac you are 100% that you get the best quality . I only download in flac quality the albums that i really like .
Well, FLAC is referred to as "lossless" for a good reason
Of course, in a cheap set of headphones, the difference isn't obvious. But on a good audio system...

i thought you were into this Lossless shit so you would be knowing that its impossible to create a 100% acc copy of the cds. The issues relating to Burn quality,Error concealment etc associated with the Compact Disc mechanism almost make it certain that the same quality cant be achieved. You should really read up on EFM and CIRC to quell any doubts relating to this. But Hey i will give u credit that atleast u knw that Sound and Data are different, not a proponent of the "bit is bit " philosophy.
Also Flac is a Lossless compression rather than just saying Lossless. Its quite misleading that way actually

The only reason I've ever snatched that format
