When did I say FLAC isn't lossless? I said I know how to make the second best thing after lossless. Lossless is WAV, FLAC, ALAC, it really doesn't matter which one it is. I'm actually encoding to low-complexity m4a (aac) at the highest bitrate. To my boomer (Gen X actually but they always forget us and I'm closer to boomer than Millennial) ears, my m4a files sound pretty close to lossless at about a third the size. It's my sweet spot of quality to file size.
I am sorry, I just found your phrasing a bit unusual.
Thank you for clairfying!
