Yeah.that's pretty much what I was looking for. If by this you mean what is a convenient conversion tool, audacity beta has native flac export and is very simple, cross platform etc. Granted you can really screw up audio by encoding it poorly or at a low CBR bitrate with an aggressive low-pass to shrink the filesize, but that isn't really done anymore anyway. A good VBR encoded mp3 is for most intents and purposes 'identical,' in a loose sense, to the WAV (obviously I don't mean this as a strong claim or anything, I fully grasp what lossy psychoacoustic compression does to the original waveform), so a good mix will sound good and a bad mix will sound bad. Even lossy compression (like Mp3, some ogg, aac, some wma), if done correctly, has so little quality loss that you just need to worry about your mix sounding good in general, not specifically for the file type that the end user ends up encoding it into. Lossless compression like FLAC, ALAC, Monkey's, some ogg, some wma, etc.

But if you're not doing some kind of intentional project like that, the real question is just how to get a good master. I don't know why people worry about mastering for different file storage mediums, unless they're specifically doing it as part of the 'point,' like the 20kbps netlabel that only puts out 20kbps albums, some of which sound really amazing and take advantage of the extremely low-fi sound. It's like a zip, specially made for audio so it gets about twice as much compression without losing any data, and which you can play back without having to unzip it every time first.

FLAC is simply a more efficient container for the same data found in a WAV file.
