Well, FLAC aims to be lossless, so I would estimate compression to be practically nil (I could be wrong; don't know about FLAC). Haven't heard or seen comparisons between the two formats. I do know the odds of finding a portable Ogg Vorbis player is slightly better than that of finding a portable FLAC player, though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
