I would love to know FOR SURE that ALE follows Stuffit/ZIP/MLP (and standard lossless compression theory) and not some "almost as good" scheme, just for piece of mind. Apple has decided to treat ALE files as AACs most likely for convenience. They are of the same file type, so it could follow that ALE uses a lossless algorithm to compress to the same file type as the lossy AAC. I know there is an ALE encoder separate from AAC, but is there a different player, or merely a new AAC player that handles ALE files?Again, iTunes 4.5 -- without QT 6.5.1 -- acted as though it was encoding and playing ALE files, when it wasn't.
