> Why fork Linux and make Android? Why have dozens of distros of Linux? The point of open source is you can do what you want with it. ...but they didn't do that. That's what I'm saying doesn't make any sense. Instead of taking a project, and improving it, doing a fork if necessary, they built something from scratch...

32GB is something like 6 *days* worth of FLAC audio. You can get a 32GB SD card today for $35 no problem, and that's retail pricing. A 64GB card is more like $100, but you can find deals where it is a lot less. Even miniSD 32GB is like $10 more than regular SD. That's today's prices. A year ago you got about half that ...

That's odd, the flash versions for everything but opacity ran slower on my machine. (Opera, linux) I'd speculate that any improvement in speed on a phone might be due to a smaller resolution, and thus a smaller canvas, although I don't know if that translates to being less computationally intense.

If it's lossless, the only real criteria by which to judge 'best' is speed. So saying it's the fastest IS saying it's the best. ALAC is lacking features that FLAC has. There is ZERO reason to use ALAC, because "being written by professional programmers" doesn't fucking mean ANYTHING.

You're downvoted because you're basically giving the same stupid pitch that the "real estate moguls" give. You know the real secret to making lots of money? You get a bunch of idiots willing to give you lots of money to hear your "secrets" on how to make money.

ALAC is the format for lossless audio that will play natively in iTunes and on iDevices. So if an "audiophile" wants to take their music on the go with their iPod, songs encoded in ALAC from CD or vinyl will provide a much more accurate representation of the music than music bought on iTunes, Amazon, etc.

Wouldn't it depend on what you're using? A device which has hardware ALAC decoding, and needs to rely on software for FLAC decoding would be better off using ALAC, no? And vice versa, a device with FLAC hardware support and relying on software for ALAC would be better off using FLAC?
