I have this debate a lot with my buddy. He has all his music in FLAC, me in ALAC as I own an iPod. I personally think ALAC is excellent as, not only is it lossless, it's very easy to move to another format in the future if required. It also supported embedded art first, which was a killer feature for me at the time. If I need to convert to something else, a couple of clicks in iTunes and I can convert my entire library to AIFF and onwards to FLAC etc. Going the other way FROM FLAC isn't so easy at all. I recently downloaded a free album that came in FLAC format and couldn't get it on my iPod without burning it to CD-Audio and re-ripping. -- jaffacake ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jaffacake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3206 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45563 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
