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. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
