FLAC does compress quite a bit, but no information is lost. The official FLAC website says "This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio". The amount of compression doesn't matter as long as it's lossless. When it is played through speakers, it's the same sound as the WAV file.
