My Songs, My Format

true but FLAC Size >> AAC/MP3 thus reducing the number of songs one can carry on their pods.
 
 that said I wish there was a decent DAP that supported FLAC, would be nice to listen on occasion to a concert encoded in FLAC.

i'm not saying that mp3 doesn't have its uses, but for archival purposes and as far as a format i would actually BUY music in, FLAC > mp3/aac.  if i get an ipod or some sort of similar device i would probably rip my albums to mp3 for the convenience of use, but any live music i have is archived to flac.  while i don't back up my regular cds to flac, i do make cdr copies of all the ones i buy and use those in the car and for playing rather than using the actual disc itself.

totally understand your POV... I'd be more incline myself to buy the odd track off iTunes, etc if it were in a less compressed state i.e. FLAC
 
 i do buy MP3s from eMusic but it's a lot less per track and free of DRM...
