Dane, Storage is still limited on the iPhone, where I listen to a lot of music. so MP3 is still essential for the iPhone. In recent months, I have installed a program called FLAC Squisher, which converts all flac files in a folder to 320k MP3 files in another folder. It is necessary to turn all my ripped flac albums into iPhone ready albums. I find myself listening to an increasing amount of music on my phone, not at home with big three-foot high stereo speakers.
