   Hello Wilfred!   
      
   ** On Saturday 01.01.22 - 20:30, you wrote to me:

    WvV> I don't know about AppleLossLess, and how it compares to   
    WvV> Flac.   
      
   And I only mentioned it because I find iTunes (as a local     
   program) operates very nicely as a music database.  I didn't     
   want to mess around with transferring/importing my all my music     
   files and relearn yet-another music program when iTunes is     
   pretty darn good at what it does. It even supports streaming     
   files across a LAN to another pc that has iTunes.   
      
    AA>> ..The fellow has a fine hifi system. He found no   
    AA>> discernable differences.   
      
    WvV> There shouldn't be any difference. They all produce the

   Short of hooking up a scope and/or other measuring devices, our     
   audio tests were very specific.  We tested recordings with     
   quiet passages, and specific recordings that featured super low     
   pipe-organ notes.  They all seemed to reproduce in FLAC and     
   AppleLossless equally well.
