I get 2006 based on the date of my Maintenance Manual.  :/

But FLAC probably wasn't a concern on a business-class laptop  
valued at $3000+ fully-configured at the time.  ;)

That one had a late 2008, early 2009 introduction. I bought  
that one new. I'm not too worried about FLAC on that one  
either.   I only mentioned it because it too operates XP, and  
seems perfectly fine with AppleLossless versions.

For Bj”rn's test, I'll be generating CDs from the FLAC files to  
test on my hi-fi system.

I had a family friend do a similar test on some of the FLAC vs  
AppleLossess files that I produced, against the original CD  
versions of a few tunes.  The fellow has a fine hifi system.   
He found no discernable differences.
