Someone earlier on the tread implied that ALAC isn't really lossless. I think the audio quality comment was in reference to that. Thanks , Robin for reiterating that ALAC should be auditorily indistinguishable from FLAC. There seems to be some misconception about that. I am sometimes tempted to convert to FLAC but I am so used to itunes I hesitate. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31480 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
