Guys...
We're preaching to each other and we're all in the same choir. You all know very well what realafrica is saying and that he understands the distinction. His point, as you all well know, is that lossy music losslessly presented in a .FLAC file is still lossy (the music data itself), and not to assume that all .FLAC files contain lossless music. Its a valid concern and worth the occasional reminder.S

Flac is a lossless compression codec. It will *losslessly* encode whatever it is fed. There is no such thing as 'a flac'. There is a file that has been passed through flac (it will have the *.flac) suffix. If the source of lossy then so will be the flac-encoded version.
It's the same with any codec. For example, the input file to an mp3 codec might be 'lossless' file, or it might be something that has already been passed through a lossy codec. The file suffix doesn't tell you. It only tells you whether *further* compression (lossy or lossless) was applied.
Are we clear now?
