Heres what a friend (Andy Hertzfeld) had to say:

     There are two lossless formats widely used by collectors.   The more established one is called Shorten (.shn files), which has been around for around five years or so.  A newer one is called FLAC (.flac file), which is a couple years old but gaining momentum.   My Dylan server uses Shorten.  A good place to find out more about the lossless formats is http://www.etree.org.
