FLAC vs MP3

	FLAC	MP3
File Extension	.flac	.mp3
Full Name	Free Lossless Audio Codec	MPEG Audio Layer 3
Description	The size of the compressed format FLAC compared to the uncompressed format, e.g. WAV, is only 30-50 % of the original size, yet with the same sound quality. Their support of rich metadata, album art and lack of royalty fees make them a common format choice when archiving, streaming and listening at high resolution. Besides, FLAC has an error detection feature to maintain the integrity of audio storage and playback.	MP3 is a widely used lossy audio format that is used to achieve very high compression rates by disposing of some of the details that are not readily audible. Usually, MP3 was one-tenth of uncompressed audio size, thus it developed to be a digital music standard as it was flexible in communication and can be used anywhere.
