Lossless compression
Unlike lossy codecs, FLAC is designed so decoding reconstructs the original audio data represented in the file. It does not make a poor source better.
Quality and file size
FLAC files are commonly much larger than MP3 files. The exact size depends on duration, bit depth, sample rate and how compressible the audio is.
FLAC on Android
Modern Android devices can handle FLAC, but storage, battery use, Bluetooth codecs and listening equipment still affect the practical experience.
