If I remember correctly, ALAC (Apple) compressed a little better that FLAC. Have you thought about players from other producers (iRiver, iAudio, etc) ? They have models that support FLAC. Finally, do you need lossless on your player ? They eat up diskspace very quickly. I have a 20G iAudio X5 and use mp3 or oggs so I get enough music with me... -- tomsi42 SB3, Rotel RC-1070/RB-1070, dynaBel Exact. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomsi42's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2477 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24602 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
