If this question is too simplistic or off topic I wouldn’t be offended in the least bit if it was rejected. I still love to read the back and forth between this highly intelligent group 

I extract songs exclusively using WAV with easy audio copy. I listen to music either at home on a 30+ year old Yamaha receiver hooked up to a Sony CD player or my automobile and neither can play FLAC files. I’d love to use FLAC but given my many years of listening to WAV and not having FLAC type players for home and car what am I missing here. I am a baby boomer Woodstock gen who does not know how to write command lines for tagging.
