I'm entertaining the idea of getting into PC audio as a source. Having said that I believe at this point I would go with Apple Lossless.
The reasons being (1) I plan on purchasing a 60gb iPod to listen to while running, at the library, etc. I say 60gb because I believe that it is the only iPod with a 64 bit buffer (i.e. lot's of complaints form people using lossless on the 30gb (32 bit buffer) that they experience skips in the music.
Reason (2) is that I understand that the Squeezebox 3 is compatible with Apple Lossless. Ideally, I'd like to connect it via the DAC input on my Cary CD player.
I think that the only downside to using Apple Lossless is that I'm running a Windows XP environment, if that is a downside...
