Ok, I work as an sound technician in Iceland, and at home I have Genelec monitors and play music through Digidesign Mbox interface. Until Apple Lossless came to be, I encoded all my music as AIFF, and I have a lot of original material in 24-bit format, so I was using a lot of space for my 2500 song collection. Now I encode everything using Apple Lossless, and I can say that the extra disk space I gain is definatly worth using the Apple Lossless codec  I can hear the difference even using my iPod, but I use Sennheiser headphones, so I don´t know about how the difference is with the iPods headphones.. I would say for DJ´s who use mac´s to play the music this is a godsend, because mp3 and AAC files played through an expensive sound system at loud levels just doesn´t sound too good  Bottom line: A truly lossless encoder, and even the ten megabytes you save on each song count when you have many songs:) Great invention, and one of the best things about iTunes
