These are playable in Foobar2000 with vgm stream component installed ofcourse
But I'm confused, Should I convert it to MP3 or FLAC/WAV
Is this file lossy or lossless?

It's lossy. It's only reporting lossless because it's hardcoded (idk why). Eventually I'll fix it to report a more accurate reading.

The general rule of thumb is ADPCM = lossy. By default, foo_input_vgmstream reports lossless on every supported file type ragardles if it's accurate or not since it's hardcoded. Like I said, I'll have to fix that at some point unless my colleagues get to it before I do.
