Apple just can't get over their NIH obsession and support FLAC like a normal store.

I have my music download stores set to give me ALAC so that's a normal store for me. :-)

To be fair it really doesn't matter since it's quite easy to convert between lossless files.

I prefer ALAC too since I use iOS devices. However let's not pretend that Apple supporting FLAC wouldn't make things easier.

Bandcamp provides ALAC as one of their format options, too.
