Best way I've seen it explained.

FLAC = PNG

MP3 = JPEG

Well I learned something today - I always thought PNG was lossey.

Png is compressed, but lossless. Jpg is both compressed and lossy.

No, and when used for simple images like text, it can often take up less storage space than JPEG despite being lossless.

Continuing the analogy WAV = BMP
