Salut Zev,

with the help of google here's what I found on lossless wma:

extracted from Microsoft website :
"Lossless Audio Compression
WMA 9 Lossless, a new mathematically lossless audio codec, delivers the ultimate audiophile performance. Capable of losslessly compressing CD audio into one-half to one-third its original size, the listener will enjoy exactly the original sound quality, bit-for-bit. It?s the ultimate "archival" codec for your music library!"

also here (in french)-> http://windowsmedia.lcdj.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=53

IMHO,it will not get APE's encoding speed, plus we've got  the APE guru. ;)

à la prochaine,

Christian

You are not in Toulouse?
Was just a question .Nothing to do with APE.

For a start look like you cannot or there is not software who can convert it  to another format.

I was thinking: if fast and convertable and smaller than APE,you eat the s..t  once ripping 200-300 cds to it,even more if you have room.
And after you rip it to MP3 -MPC or ORG/
But i would never ever dream about using it as an archive format...

Well the problem is Microsoft Has a Captured Audience

Is MJ Distributed With Windows? Microsoft will try to cram it down your throat. And MJ does not have the distro or the captured Audience.
