As a short after-thought to my last post, fortunately I may be wrong regarding
having to
uncompress lossless audio files before playing them.
Two useful links are as follows:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_data_compression
http://www.bobulous.org.uk/misc/audioFormats.html
The second one is useful as there is comparison between lossless and lossy
formats, the
lossy ones including MP3 and Ogg Vorbis.
It would seem to me that given the unbelievably low price of hard disks these
days, lossless
formats can be used if you are a perfectionist, and the FLAC format does seem
to be 'free'
or open source, or whatever.
I've never given thought to how one manages hard disk based storage over time
as these do
give out eventually. Constant backing up to more than one HD or other media I
guess is what
you have to do.
