RE: Ripping to lossless...

In the very early days I used ALAC because I used iTunes on the Mac as there wasn't much else available back then for Mac. ALAC is very similar to FLAC but w/o the FLAC bugs - a problem that existed with FLAC several years ago that has since been fixed.

For a compressed lossless format I would use FLAC today. I don't think DRM is an issue but for wider portability I would lean toward FLAC.
