And I only mentioned it because I find iTunes (as a local  
program) operates very nicely as a music database.  I didn't  
want to mess around with transferring/importing my all my music  
files and relearn yet-another music program when iTunes is  
pretty darn good at what it does. It even supports streaming  
files across a LAN to another pc that has iTunes.

Short of hooking up a scope and/or other measuring devices, our  
audio tests were very specific.  We tested recordings with  
quiet passages, and specific recordings that featured super low  
pipe-organ notes.  They all seemed to reproduce in FLAC and  
AppleLossless equally well.
