Apologies for jumping into your discussion, but how does that affect
audio quality? It's more of a personal issue whether you care or not
about open source vs proprietary and it doesn't make either technically
"superior" to the other. They are both lossless and take up less file
space. I like choice too, but I'm not a zealot either way. I've never
used FLAC because the tools take too long to use, if it were as slick
as iTunes, I might switch, but then I like the to being able to use
iTunes for playback on a PC as well.

That is a good reason, but so does Apple Lossless and with disk space
so cheap, it's probably the tagging aspect that is more relevant.

Is that another Apple convergence device? It cooks your brain and pokes
tinsel in your eyes at the same time when you are calling home at
Christmas? :-)
