PKZip and RAR are lossless, even Microsoft admits that WMA Lossless is "mathematically" lossless (heh..... see figure 1 in the original article, the screenshot even says it). Yes, I'm aware that "mathematically lossless" is close enough for 99% of the music and people out there... but be aware that there is some music out there that does not pass an inversion comparison test with WMA Lossless, and therefore it's not truely lossless in all cases.

But I digress....

True, and I think the original author was trying to reconstitute a whole-CD file, and on that particular CD it's a wise thing to do.... many live recordings need the same thing. A large point of the point I was trying to make is that there's easier ways of doing it.

That's all I use.... and you're right.... it is the best music player for a PPC. The only thing I'd add is that support from Conduits is the best.
