It isn't to save disk space, which as you say, is nearly free. Flac and other formats include very important things like error detection and tags so you can know the artist/ album/song. And since FLAC is free and supported by all squeezeboxes, the only downside is a small amount of time once after ripping to compress and tag. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
