Depending on what country you're in that could be a little dicey from a
legal standpoint (civil copyright infringement in some places), but
that's a separate matter.

Any particular reason for using Apple Lossless? If not, then you could
batch convert from ALAC to FLAC and there wouldn't be any loss in music
quality, because lossless is lossless. If you want ALAC for an iPod or
something then that's not a solution for you, but otherwise there
aren't any drawbacks. You can just set a computer going on your ALAC
library and check back when it's done. There are various software
packages that can do it.

Fyi, SBS does the volume control. By default, decoding is done on the
player (eg, Touch) for codecs that the player can natively decode, and
on the server for other codecs. You can also override those settings to
decode on the server instead of player. In your case, because the ALAC
decoder on the Touch is buggy, the decoding is done at the server. I
have no idea if/when ALAC native will ever lose its greyed out status,
but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.
