[X4U] Which format for Music?

[Matt Gregory]

I don't recall anyone mentioning FLAC. I use FLAC (Free Lossless Audio 
Codec) to archive my cd's and then have a script (flac2mp3) which will 
convert them to mp3 format to use on the iPod. I tend to prefer the 
non-proprietary formats like AAC or WMF, even though, if memory serves me, 
technically mp3 is proprietary and encoding them without a license is 
actually illegal. When (if) ogg support is added to the iPod, I'll be all 
over that.
