RE: DTS 2496 is lossy, period.

"They are wasting space on the disk so they can store redundant versions of the same music, by competing surround sound standards!!!"

Something that may be necessary when selling coasters in meat space, otherwise inventory costs may become excessive. This problem doesn't exist with digital downloads, where the user selects his format before the download and multiple format conversions are made before loading the server or on the fly as downloads are requested. Of course it would be better if there weren't multiple competing standards, however if you've done hard time on standards committees you would understand the complexity of the situation and the forces controlling the participants.
