And converting any lossles format to another lossles format introduces no artefacts or problems of any kind ? So it more of a nuisance problem not a real problem :-/ bleuh. But good customer care would be to actually provide the formats that's customers want's anyway, that and good tagging . It's convenient and positive to get it just like you want it . Wonder if HD-Tracks are so well staffed that they are actively involved in every release , migth be the labels that upload their stuff. record companies can act in mysterius ways ? I suspect that they fear that some technologically challenged person will complain if the files don't work in iTunes . So they make sure that if any one just picks file type randomly it will work in iTunes :) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
