A lot more arguments for using AIFF than WAV. You can do everything  
with AIFF that you can with FLAC and considerably more because it  
works with iTunes, which, of course, FLAC doesn't.

Apart from the space issue, which is probably going to be significant  
only for tracks used on an iPod (and it's easy to create ALAC  
versions specifically for that purpose) AIFF is better than ALAC for  
Squeeze Box use, because the FF and RW on SqueezeCenter also work,  
which they don't with ALAC.
