Just as a clarification the iPod will support FLAC and many other formats through the use of Rockbox firmware.
I've had it installed for a while now and love how customizable everything is. The bundled apps and games are awesome! http://build.rockbox.org/

I get this skip sound on the first second when I play .flac in VLC media player. Otherwise it plays well.

Is irrelevant when ripping from a CD because the format from a CD is 16bit and 44.1khz.
Maybe you ment it differently but if thats how you're ripping music then you're wasting probaly twice as much hardrive space.

I don't mind listening to MP3s on my iPod or in my car since usually it's just background music at those times. For more serious listening times I'll load up my FLAC hard drive, or for EQ'ing a room I always go with a CD I keep a collection primarily of FLAC, 320kb MP3s, and 128kb AAC. The difference between lossy and lossless are night and day to most trained ears. It always baffles me how many DJs will use MP3s.

Nice guide 'locke.
Being a heavy supporter of FLAC and EAC, I might add this little tidbit - Quote:
As for the difference between lossy and lossless, it is very much dependent on the listener and the equipment being used. With my soundcard/speakers, the format was irrelevant. With my DAC/amp/headphones, I ended up ignoring the large portion of my collection that was ripped in lossy. The improved transparency/detail was rather astounding. It is unfortunate that lossy has become such a popular medium for music, when it is generally rubbish compared to lossless redbooks and vinyl.

Also, I re-edited my first post. I found the guide, it had just been moved around a little bit.
