Dbpoweramp .flac

When ripping cd´s with DBpoweramp, what´s the difference between LOSSLESS LEVEL 8 and LOSSLESS UNCOMPRESSED?
Thanks.

What do you exactly mean by METADATA. Name of the song, cover art? I´ll be using a Bryston BDP1 and BDA1 combo, using my iPad 2 to select the music.

Most people just refer to them as "tags." The file specifications for flac, mp3, ogg and other file formats include "space" for this information. The wav format does not. It's a matter of convenience. As Steve mentions above, some people can hear the difference. I'd say try listening to some familiar music ripped to various formats and different compression levels. Pick the one that sounds best to you. Trust YOUR ears. Best of luck. - Dick

I would love to buy HD stuff in .wav as my PWT will play them directly. As it is, I have to file convert from FLAC to .WAV and its a pain.
