Yup, I've used FLAC too, but not for archival.  I archive my music on CD's
whenever possible, at least for now, I'm only ripping them to get make them
streamable for my own tests and whatnot.  I'm not worrying right now about
having my complete collection in a digital jukebox-type thing (running out of
hard drive space as it is!).  I'd rather download WAV files than any compressed
format, and so FLAC is perfect for that. :)
But I don't think I'd stream FLACs, at least not with my current bandwidth.
