What is the difference between WAV, FLAC and MP3? 

The 24-bit master is produced in the mastering of the release and is the highest quality we can provide. We do not do any encoding or compressing of these WAV files. FLAC files are the same quality as WAV files however they are compressed, so are a smaller file size. MP3s are very high quality, encoded to using the LAME codec (program), widely acknowledged as the best MP3 encoder available.
