By the way, why somebody would try to compress FLACs and HiRes files as there's no further shrinking in comparison to the original file
Hi Mike,
There might be reasons in addition to compression to use archives. Archives or tar balls are great ways to organize your music. You can place all of an album's tracks, front and back cover art, liner notes, playlists, artist pics, lyrics and bios, and other related files in a single comprehensive container. Try it, you might like it.

Hello John,
I see your point but... changing a moderate / large library of music digital files is quite a cumbersome task (think NAS, etc) and the end product would not fit in with most of the hardware/software music players/streamers probably. I also believe that using an extended archiving model restricts the flexibility of access to separate files on the range of operating systems available at the moment.
