Hey everyone well I was wondering what is the diffrence between both of them?
When did flac format started?
Will we get to a point that we buy cds that are in flac format or that will never happen?
Do tracks on flac format lose quality?
Tried to use the search no luck
anyways thanx for the help

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Think of it as ZIP format for music that you can play without decompressing it. The main advantages are file size (about 60% of WAV) and tagging (you can tag FLAC files like you do with MP3s).

so as I understand a Flac file and a wav file have the same sound quality.

^ Yes, assuming that the source was properly compressed.
(sorry, Procs beat me to it) 
You believe in the users?
Yeah, sure. If I don't have a user, then who wrote me? |

there is a big reason: you cant burn it on cds and play them on regular cdjs
"The dedication to repetition — the search for nirvana in a single held tone or an endlessly cycling rhythm — is one of electronic music's noblest gestures." |

Of course you cannot directly burn FLAC files onto a CD and pop it into a CD player. You can't do that with WAV either as a real Audio CD is Red Book and nothing else (no data disc or else). Any decent burning program will convert the FLAC on-the-fly and burn a audio CD.
http://www.burrrn.net/ and http://exactaudiocopy.org/ are two excellent free tools to do so.
If you look around in the (illegal and immoral and killing the industry, scnr) filesharing scene, you will see that FLAC has long been established as lossless format. It is a free format, widely supported and plain awesome. 
And since the filesharing scene has always been the innovation pusher for such things, I am sure (well, I hope) good online music stores will provide FLAC in the future. Some already do.
