Too bad one can only use ALAC on Apple product only. Does ALAC drain battery as fast as FLAC?

I were under the impression that Rockbox support ALAC. Which itself support several non-Apple branded players.

Ipods don't support flac nor does itunes, you have to convert flac to wave files which itunes and ipod supports, then compress if needed, i don't anymore. I've decided to just keep them wave.

I have no experience with Rockbox software but if it supports flac that's great wish stock ipod software did.

The WAVE container don't support artwork.
iTunes will link artwork to the tracks, but it will be stored outside the WAVE files themselves.
