Please add the ability to sync lossless audio to an iOS device while preserving the lossless format. FLAC would be preferred as it is generally universal, but server-side conversion of FLAC to ALAC for the ability to sync would also suffice. 24-bit support would be great, but conversion to 16-bit would be acceptable. Similarly with sampling rate (96 preferred, 44 acceptable).
