Actually WAV files are not LOSSLESS but NATIVE. If you compare a WAV file of a tune to a lossless version of it, i.e. FLAC or ALAC, the WAV file will be almost twice as large as the lossless file and require more bandwidth as well. Lossless files are just that, NO LOSS and sound exactly like the original native, discreet version. Just an FYI.... As far as what's the best for you, I think someone already said that FLAC is great if you're on a PC. If everything you do is on a Mac, the Apple Lossless has the same quality as FLAC but will be much easier to manage. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego A.E.S., S.M.P.T.E., S.P.A.R.S.
