for use describing wasting disc space if choose rip in alac.
rip in format, have invested high amount of money in hi-fi high-end stereo system , use headphone amplifier (and headset match it) on-the-go listening experience. while hear significant difference in audio quality lossless files songs downloaded directly itunes, difficult notice difference on audio quality, me, on audio system describe.
far lossy formats go, recommend without doubt aac 256kbps.
edit: also, itunes match not copy your audio files other devices own, file if bought particular song in itunes. in other words, lossless files on main computer stored normal aac on other devices. (which why don't use myself)
