FLAC;MP3 & Wave converting

[damoresh]

Is securely ripping to Flac and then converting it to Vbr -V 0 mp3 will give me the exactly same & error free mp3 which i could obtain by direct rip?

And will it also give me the same wave file? when i convert from FLAC to WAVE

Hi Spoon

Quick follow-up question from a Noob:

My music library has all been ripped to WAVE lossless and my NAS drive is down to about 40% free I'm thinking of converting it all to FLAC instead to save disc space. Will I lose anything in audio quality if I do this?

Many thanks and love the software!

No, FLAC and WAV are both lossless formats, FLAC is just a compressed lossless format, so you should be fine. Note that if you didn't rip your library with dMC r12 or above, your FLAC files have no tags.
