No I meant using compression software to compress FLAC files, not using FLAC to backup CD.

I mean, FLAC is already a loseless audio compression, I doubt normal compression software can do much better.

I think compressors will do a better job with losslessly compressed files than lossy compressed files. Have to test to confirm though.

maybe I misunderstood the question, I thought the question means what type of compression I usually do..

Yeah I suspected that.

Adrian: Yeah, lossy should be harder to compress, but let's test to find out!

mmm, maybe I misunderstood, was it not which files do you compress that for the most part are already compressed with the exception of wav, bmp and txt files?
