Yes, completely. FLAC uses lossless compression like ZIP for audio. You can convert back to WAV and get a bit-identical copy of the original.
Typically 30-50% smaller than WAV, depending on the audio content. Silence-heavy or simple audio compresses more than complex, dense music.
Level 5 is the recommended default. Levels 6-8 save only marginally more space but take significantly longer to encode.
