What Apple product isn't? lol.

I have an iPhone, and all the files on it are Apple lossless and I have duplicates of those on my external drive which are FLACs. I'm not a huge audiophile though, so minute differences in audio quality don't really bother me.

The iPod/iPhone does so much more than play music though (just like any other smartphone), so I guess that's a redeeming quality.
