   I get 2006 based on the date of my Maintenance Manual.  :/   
      
   But FLAC probably wasn't a concern on a business-class laptop     
   valued at $3000+ fully-configured at the time.  ;)

   That one had a late 2008, early 2009 introduction. I bought     
   that one new. 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.
