Apple Lossless (ALAC) is a good compromise to save disk space and to allow full tagging and artwork. iTunes can work with Wav files and covert your files to ALAC. The process is completely reversible (at least that's what I've been told, I haven't tried it). And you can set your Slimserver to decode ALAC on the fly to either FLAC or WAV for "broadcasting" to the network. I've tried both and see (hear) no difference. My network is strong and tests out over 5 mbs between the computer and my SB3 via the Slimserver throughput test. So, I went with ALAC to WAV conversion in Slimserver.
