Right, well I've never played with WMA losless but now would seem an appropriate time to bring up some information regarding FLAC. Some software still uses the older version of FLAC, current versions of Total Recorder for example. The compression rates aren't as good and performance on higher compression levels is also a little slow, FLAC has 8 compression levels, the highest providing maximum compression but it takes a while to compress the file as more processing power is ued. In the later versions of FLAC, pcompression performance is enhanced ad the time is far les. Actually FLAC is a bit more than just compresion these days, you can for example insert a cue sheet file into a FLAC file along with the audio so you have (in my case where I store both cue and FLAC files) a CD in one file ready to copy or convert.
