Subject says it all. I know there are the HD based players that can play wav files, but with better lossless formats out there, you'd imagine somone would support it. Even if only to add another format to their laundry list of support.

There's a new version of WMA that supports lossless encoding and I believe it is backwards compatible with the old format, so I think any player capable of playing WMA should be able to play the new lossless WMA. I'm not 100% sure on this though.

WMA lossless is not supported on any portable devices, nor is it expected to be in the future (check the helpfile in WMP for details).

It's a shame. The format is really good.
