On a low-powered system, transcoding causes burps in the music and it
completely ruins the listening experience so you try to limit whatever
you can.  I suppose I could upgrade the server, but I have already
invested significantly in the players.  More $$$ isn't really an
option.

a FLACed copy around.

An option, surely, but a single library is enough to maintain.

perhaps?

Only when the prices drop significantly.

Most "average users" likely use WMP or iTunes.  The lossless choices
are WMA or M4P.  I think if you asked an "average user" what FLAC was,
they'd have no idea and probably not care.  If FLAC is ever supported
by WMP/iTunes, it will become a major format, but I won't hold my
breath.
