This is a very good point, indeed! I would absolutely prefer buying FLAC files from music stores, but this doesn't seem to catch on very well. I guess it's just too much fuzz for tech support to teach customers to convert their newly bought digital music into a format that is compatible with their digital music player (into mp3 that is). So, I'll gladly start buying mp3HD:s if they start showing up. Converting to FLAC would be no problem for me. Anything that helps bring us lossless music purchases is a good thing, no matter how silly the suggested idea of carrying a 10+ MB/min lossy sounding file in your mp3 player is. So in a way, I kind of hope this will make it into the big time. I just don't think FLAC will be mainstream anytime soon. -- Skinny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skinny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61694 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
