On Windows, maybe. On other platforms?

Software support for WMA lossless by interesting players and tools is very limited, and the format itself offers no real benefit except for being usable with MS' turd of a player. No speed gains, no compression gains, no nothing.

I can't imagine why anyone should have to put up with this ... format just because someone else can't be arsed to check out decent formats (and software).
