Converting FLAC to WAV and keeping tags?

you shall of course need to ensure that your digital signal cables are optimised for the format that you ultimately select otherwise you will not reap the full benefits of the conversion.

No offence at all to Ivan, but I think that Doggiehowser is right on that. Most people who do hear a difference like WAV better. I'm not saying they are right, but that its just seems to be popular opinion. For myself, I haven't done enough serious listening to have a solid opinion yet.

Interesting, will try keeping an open mind on that.

Ivan,

I wasn't trying to push that info on you in any way, I was just going by what seems to me, is popular opinion. Nothing more. I also forgot to mention one other format. Apple lossless. A lot of people seem to really like that one as well. If you are using iTunes for a player, it would make sense to give it a try. I don't know if any other players support it, though. For me its not an option because I use Linux.

AIFF is fairly universal. Like WAV, it is derived from an old Amiga IFF format and stores the data in lossless uncompressed.
