For the true audiophile, compressed MP3s do a disservice to the complex layers and dynamic range of this unique score. This is where FLAC comes in. FLAC is a lossless audio codec, meaning it compresses the digital audio file without removing any sonic information. This preserves the original recording's full detail, from the resonant lows of the string section to the sharp, unnerving highs of the piano. A typical track in 16-bit/44.1kHz FLAC might be around 40MB, versus under 10MB for a 320kbps MP3, offering a significantly more immersive and faithful listening experience. For an even more pristine experience, high-resolution 24-bit FLAC versions of the tracks have been known to circulate, offering an even greater depth of sound.
