I'm referring to you saying that Apple should drop years of development and investment in their proprietary protocol for someone else's. And still doesn't support DRM. DLNA is great if you own all your media and have taken the time to encode it but fails miserably once you get into online purchases and rentals.

FLAC, ALAC who cares. They both do what it says on the tin Lossless Audio Codec.

Apple does what Apple does and the world can certainly support more than one type of system. They go off and do their own thing and have been punished and rewarded for it.
