FLAC works on all major and most minor platforms.  It is Free and Open.
Apple Lossless is not.  (I say "most" because there isn't a CP/M 2.2
port of FLAC.  Modern systems should have no problem with it, though.)

802.11n is a) just a draft and subject to change, and b) does not make
wireless networking perfect.

or those of us who question everything.

How do you know it is a robust system when you haven't used it?

Just because Bill Gates or Steve Jobs says something is good doesn't
make it so.

Trust no-one: use FLAC.
