But FLACs can't be played directly by copying to any media player I own. Also they must be decoded on the fly by a media server to stream over the network. The ~50% space savings isn't a big deal, I've ripped my entire CD collection (300+ discs) and still have room to spare.

I was just saying that WAVs are (almost, what's up with the Oppo BDP-83 not playing them?) universally supported, and with virtually unlimited storage these days its just the easiest format for me.
