In the 'pro-audio' world, that being post-production as what I do, the
trend is towards BWF or Broadcast WAVE.  Even though Apple seems to
think AIFF files can handle tags, BWF was designed from the outset for
massive amounts of meta-data information within the file structure.  I
really don't see AIFF lasting much longer except for backwards
compatibility.  BWF is where everything is heading.

That being said, the lossless formats sound IDENTICAL to their 'raw'
brothers and take half the storage space.  I really think that, before
too long, ProAudio is also going to have to deal with lossless levels
of compression for files.
