About ALAC and FLAC
ALAC: ALAC is Apple's lossless format. It compresses audio to roughly half the size of WAV with zero quality loss and plays natively in Apple Music, iTunes and on every iPhone. It is saved with the .m4a extension.
FLAC: FLAC is an open lossless format that shrinks audio to 50–60% of WAV size without losing any quality. It is the favourite format of audiophiles and hi-res music stores.
