I'm not too worried about FLAC on that one        either. I only mentioned it because it too operates XP, and        seems perfectly fine with AppleLossless versions.              For Bj”rn's test, I'll be generating CDs from the FLAC files to        test on my hi-fi system.              I had a family friend do a similar test on some of the FLAC vs        AppleLossess files that I produced, against the original CD        versions of a few tunes. The fellow has a fine hifi system.        He found no discernable differences.       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Got mobile?
