Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus

Any audible difference between the two? I only buy/import from CD's in Apple Lossless but I would like to stop buying CD's.

A group of six audiophiles could not hear any differences between CD, WAV and various lossless files. Further, we could not hear any differences until the bit rate was below 256 KB. Once under 128 KB, differences were obvious. The above results are heresy to audiophools but modern audiophilia is a religion as you need to have faith and believe to hear the differences that they espouse.

You can easily rip CDs using iTunes and code to AAC at a MINIMUM of 256K or 320KB rate. Just make sure that error correction is turned on in iTunes. On the other hand, I listened to a few CDs last night on my $25 Sony Playstation One (PS1) and it sounded incredible. It's a great time to be a music lover and and audiophile.
