For my initial USB stick load for the S, I did FLAC files ripped direct from actual CDs @ 44.1Khz / 24 bit. The files sound great (essentially exactly like a CD would with no compression artifacts). The compression is only about 2 or 3 to 1, but the improvement in quality over lossy compression is worth the extra storage space requirements.I've always encoded at 256bps mp3 and then 256 AAC with iTunes. Am thinking about encoding in ALAC since I have almost all Apple products. Does the Model S still not support ALAC or is FLAC the better way to go (as a general rule for future backup). I don't see Apple going anywhere anytime soon but if Tesla won't support it then maybe FLAC is better. Thanks.
