Format War: Your Favorite Lossless Format

WavPack does everything FLAC does and more. The only drawback is that it's not supported on many devices. But I mean, if you want to listen to it off your computer you can burn it to CD-R as audio or transcode it to 320 (which contains as many frequencies as the human ear can hear).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Although I still don't know why you would want to put any lossless file directly onto a portable device when you can transcode to mp3 and save space.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But the audio quality of a 320kbps mp3 is audibly identical to a lossless file; ie no normal human can hear the removed frequencies. Thus I can think of no reason why you would want to place lossless audio on a portable device when mp3s accomplish the same ends and save disk space.

So which lossless format did you vote for?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

"Plenty of instances", or "a small chance that"?

I was speaking idiomatically.
