<sigh> Yet again, you manage to find offence where there is (or should be) none. You ask a question, I answer it with my opinion. I'm not upset - just stating my opinion. It's not nonsense - it's my opinion. In my world, open source is important, so the fact that flac is open source is also important, and that makes it superior to other lossless formats. Keeping this vaguely on topic (Slim Devices) don't lose sight of the fact that Slim Devices' products support flac natively, which makes flac a more suitable choice. I can perfectly understand that if you're a Mac/iTunes user that flac is not so attractive as the support is not as good as for Apple's formats (so I am led to believe). You are free to prefer any format you like, and for any reason. But please don't come whining on here when other people state their views and opinions that disagree with yours. Now *that* upsets me.
