When ripping cd´s with DBpoweramp, what´s the difference between LOSSLESS LEVEL 8 and LOSSLESS UNCOMPRESSED?
Thanks.

Level 8 compression is flac's highest level of compression where with "uncompressed" there is no compression at all (like .wav files). The benefit of using the flac format is that your music can be tagged with metadata. .wav files have no inherent support for tags. However, many people believe that compression causes harm to the music so dBPoweramp started offering the "no compression" option. - Dick
