Re: (TV) FLASH LIGHT to be available... digitally?

Apple's MP3 equivalent is AAC, which is lossy. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding.

AIFF is the equivalent of WAV, basically. So it's lossless, but the tradeoff is that it needs roughly 10MB of disk space per minute of stereo audio (as per Wikipedia).
