Is it possible to convert to uncompressed FLAC? I do not see a way to do this but hopefully, I am wrong. Thank you.

    There's no such thing. FLAC is a lossless, but nevertheless compressed audio format. It achieves its compression by removing redundant data, but in a way that can be recovered without loss. For instance, if you had a string of, say, 18 '0's in a file, you could, for instance, express that as 0>18 rather than 000000000000000000. When decoded, perfectly recoverable, but taking up far less space. But if you didn't do this, it wouldn't be FLAC...

    But otherwise yes. Audition can certainly save audio in the lossless Flac format with no problems.

    Thank you for responding. Can you write down the steps? From what I can see, Adobe Audition does not save to uncompressed FLAC. I do not see any choices in Adobe Audition. I'm just hoping that I'm wrong. Thank you.
