I think he might be concerned with audio quality, and doesn't quite understand what "lossless" really means!

Rick, Are you trolling? To answer for the third time, FLAC decodes bit-for-bit identically to the original input, regardless of settings. The settings in FLAC effect the trade-off between file-size and CPU-usage during encoding only. The don't effect quality at all.
