By the way, I should mention that my interest in Apple Lossless stems from my own attempt to build a computer-based music server using a Mac and iTunes as the engine. My choice of hardware and software is based simply on personal preference -- I just prefer to deal with Mac OS rather than Windows. On top of that, I've chosen to encode my files in Apple Lossless in order to achieve an optimum balance between sound quality and storage efficiency. In my own [admittedly crude] experiments, I've been unable to detect any audible difference between streaming music in Apple Lossess format compared to native WAV format when both were played directly off my hard drive and passed to my outboard DAC. The conclusion I've come to is that lossless compression results in output that is both quantatively and qualitatively equivalent to the original. I personally find it very gratifying when the brain and the ears are in agreement, but that's just my $0.02. ;)Cheers,
O
