Once again, I analyzed the audio files of the so-called lossless download and the spectrograms reveal a clear frequency cutoff between 16 and 18 kHz, which is typical of lossy formats like MP3. Despite being in FLAC format, the spectral content strongly suggests that these are transcoded files — not true lossless. Genuine FLACs usually retain some high-frequency detail above 18 kHz. So while the container is lossless, the audio itself was likely compressed beforehand. In short: these are “fake” FLACs, that is “fake lossless” music files. If you paid “F.A.T.” for this thinking it was lossless, then unfortunately you got ripped off… The files may sound fine, but they don’t meet lossless standards.
