I find a peice of the puzzle missing, however, when you're saying "you should really be using lossless instead." There's another thread/poll talking about downloaded music. For those who prefer the convenience of downloading source material, the obvious format is MP3 - take Amazon and their DRM free offerings. The quality of these should be much superior to "most" mp3s and iTunes downloads (higher sample rate), and for many are becoming the standard. Now, granted, they won't be as good as FLAC or ALAC, but how much material can be downloaded in these forms? Is the user supposed to take the extra step to transcode into something else to get the best playback with the most common format available?
