Going by your logic, we should all stick to mp3 for lossy, because mp3 is the most widely supported lossy codec out there. And WavPack is open source too, so there are no real issues with WavPack. And then there's lossy WavPack, which is cool too. Moreover, WavPack uses APEv2 tags, whereas FLAC uses Vorbis comment, and APEv2 is a clearly better tag format, and is also used by various other audio codecs (Musepack, OptimFROG, APE and so on), so APEv2 has become more or less an open standard among audio tags. While it's true that FLAC has the highest compatibility and decoding support in most players and operating systems, WavPack is clearly a much better codec in every way, WavPack is still being developed (unlike FLAC which really hasn't seen any new features in years), WavPack has better compression, can encode SACD/DSD files (which makes WavPack pretty much a universal audio codec) and WavPack's decoding support has reached a point that WavPack is ready for use nowadays. FB2K desktop should be able to do this, with some alternatives being ffmpeg, beets, or whatever program you prefer the most.I disagree on FLAC. Quote from: a42a2747 on 03:29:40 Building upon this reply (making some specifications), FLAC should be the preferred format that you transcode your APE to as it is by far the most commonly used and supported codec.
