I don't speak iTunes. But with flac, its trivial to prove its really
lossless. Take a tune, compress it with flac, then uncompress it to a
new name/file. Compare the bits.

I've done it, and its lossless. Sometimes, the uncompressed file has a
partial block of zeros that the original does not have. But zeros are
ignored, so the content is identical. Literally and provable.
