FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source audio format that compresses audio without any loss in quality. It is ideal for audiophiles, music archiving, and professional audio storage. FLAC files are much smaller than uncompressed WAVs while preserving the exact original sound. The format supports rich metadata, fast seeking, and is compatible with many players and platforms. FLAC is widely used in music distribution where fidelity is paramount.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a proprietary audio format developed by Microsoft. It was created to compete with MP3 and RealAudio and offers better quality at lower bitrates. WMA supports both lossy and lossless compression, making it versatile for music, streaming, and audio archiving. Though mostly used in Windows-based systems, it is supported by several media players. Due to its proprietary nature, its use has declined in favor of open or more universal formats like MP3 and AAC.
