FLAC, short for the Free Lossless Audio Codec, is an uncompressed audio format. It compresses audio files without losing the original data or quality, so files of this type always take up a lot of storage space in large sizes. But FLAC is believed to be the preferred format when downloading and storing hi-res albums.
AAC, also known as Advanced Audio Coding, is a lossy audio compression standard. It’s usually used to download music in iTunes and other Apple applications. However, some audio information will be sacrificed during the transferring process. Therefore, compared with the lossy AAC, FLAC has better quality but AAC requires less storage space on devices.
