I recently converted into FLACs (compression level 5) hundreds of albums ripped to WAVs using Reference r12.2. I noticed that for the majority of my classical-music albums, regardless of when the recordings were made or the CDs pressed, the FLACs were about 35-40% the size of the original WAVs, while the majority of my rock-music-album FLACs were about 55-60% of the original WAVs.
What might be the cause of this discrepancy? I would think that classical music is "richer" and that its FLACs would be less compressed than rock-music FLACs.
