Ummm.... I'm not sure, but I think this guy is referring to the AAC
(Advanced Audio Codec), or the MP4 codec. This is what the quicktime
movies encode with (most of the time).... and I believe the algorithm is
available using the FAAC codec (Free Advanced Audio Codec)... I might
be off base, but... If that's what you're talking about when you say
"lossless" audio codec, then yes - Linux already has an implimentation.

Perhaps you should ask Apple to include non-patented

products. You probably won't find the Linux community interested in
supporting a new and potentially closed format that already has an
open source replacement.
BTW, your iPod may look cool but there are other devices like the
iRiver HP-120 that play far more formats than an iPod and don't put
any restrictions on how you use your own music.

Yeah, right, have you tried to play FLAC files on an iPod? ;-)
