When we're talking about lossless compression, sound quality between formats will be identical.

How do you figure wma sounds any better than flac?

MP3 and 100%VBR.... the human ear cannot tell the differance.... Like the old memorex comercials.

i can definetly tell the difference between a flac'd file and an mp3 on my car stereo. if you were running mid-to-high-end set up you can hear the difference... I know that for fact.

ok, so this probably doesnt go in this forum, i am running a m10000 w/ an mx4000 video, 3.5" hdd, slim-slot load dvd on my opus... would i be able to add another 3.5" drive and be ok power wise??

You missed the 100% VBR part. That means 100% Variable bit rate... But that's OK you do not have to agree or even acknowledge anything but your own opinion.

Has anyone checked out the Apple loseless format in iTunes? The files end up being smaller than WAV or other loseless files. While the AAC format is proprietary to Apple, it's quite easy to convert to another (lossy or loseless) format if need be.
