Hey guys, looking for some opinions on lossless audio, FLAC, AAC, APE, ect..

who uses any of the forms of compression, and what's your take on it.

aac is the most supported

Bluedot's BMP-1430
COWON's iAUDIO A2, iAUDIO F2, iAUDIO U3, iAUDIO M3, iAUDIO M5, iAUDIO T2, and iAUDIO X5

I use aac, wav, apple lossless,...and quite honestly I can't hear a difference in even compressed tracks in a very quiet garage in the middle of the night switching from track to track (wav to aac 128 kbs). As far as I'm concerned they're all more than good enough for me. If you can tell them apart, then by all means you should find the one that sounds best to you.
