FLAC and compression to .zip

When I compress a .flac to .zip and then uncompress to .flac again for moving and uploading purposes, will it be changed in any way?

I am a 1:1 Nazi so were talking perfection here...............

You'll also find that the zip files aren't any smaller than the FLACs... not sure why you're bothering.

I wonder if people would use .zip for their .doc's, their games/software, their .iso's, ..... if it was supposed to modify the data in any way.

The truth is that .zip can be more exact* than .flac, for your wavs. ( the downside is that it's not as efficient)



* RIFF chunks / complementary data

I know that .zip stores more than just the file contents, original file name, creation date, etc. Do any of the lossless compressors store anything like this?
