But not being able to play it on your iPOD would be a far greater disadvantage than any benifit you would get from FLAC.

Agreed. Also keep in mind the possibility (rumor? plan?) of FLAC
support in the Squeezebox itself; this would be a huge advantage for
playing lossless over wireless.

That's true - but it's not clear from the original post if there's
an iPod involved. It does seem like the intent though is to transcode
from lossless to lossy for the portable device.
