I would use FLAC, but I hate Winamp, all my media is on WMP, and I cant be bothered to do anything about it, so can i use Windows Media Audio 9.1 Lossless, as far as I can see, there shouldnt be a problem (cept people have an aversion to Windows), it does also use VBR and suppots Tagging and playlist files.

Can I do it??
I don't think that it would be a good idea because of cross platform support. I know APE has a bit of the same problem but I think it's ok to allow it because it's quite widespread. I have uploaded som APE torrents in the past but I have decided not to do it anymore.

You can still play FLAC with WMP if you get Ogg codecs for windows but I don't think it supports metadata that well.
