A fine answer! 100%!!
(I would only have used the analogy of a TIFF file vs. JPG instead of the VERY dated bitmap. Lossless, true, but dated. Man, are we nerds!  )
@Becks. Of course it was a labor of love! Hey, it was Priest!
Now I have something that makes me even happier than last night....NEW HALFORD STUFF! Big, happy box with shirts, Fight remasters / dvd, ("Into the Pit") and the Live in London promo! Hurrah!!

MP3, WMA etc. are "lossy" formats, i.e. some of the audio data (usually high frequencies, which are harder to hear) is lost when the tracks are compressed to those formats. WAV, which is essentially what is found on commercial CDs, has no loss of data ("lossless") but is huge in size: a typical music track can easily take over 40MB of space. The DVD equivalent for this is LPCM, which is also the format found on Live Vengeance '82.
FLAC, then, is a compression format which reduces the size of WAV tracks without causing any loss of audio data, and when decompressed the audio quality is just as good as in the original lossless source. Of course, the size is still much bigger than lossy compresed tracks, but it's only about 60-70% of the uncompressed source.
You could compare this to different image formats. WAV would be the equivalent to BMP: no loss of data and looks good (if used as the original format), but huge in file size. MP3/WMA would be the equivalent of JPG: doesn't look as good as the original but the file size is small. And FLAC would be the equivalent of PNG: looks just as good as the original BMP, but the file size is smaller (but still bigger than the equivalent JPG).

I agree Guido - RED WINGS all the way!! Next year, the cup is going to live in Detroit..... AGAIN! I am happy for the Kings though, winning their first Stanley Cup. And Matt Greene is from Grand Ledge, MI and is going to bring the cup here!! Maybe this time I'll actually get near it (unlike when it came to the Capital or any other time the Wings won it).
