Music file format advice


I have a Modwright Tranporter on order and thought I'd get a head start by ripping my CD collection to hard drive before its arrival. For music browsing/selection for play I'd like to use a device with a graphical interface such as an iTouch.

Question is, which music file format to use? Does using an iTouch for browing a music library and selecting the music to be played require the files to be in a format such as AIFF or WAV? Will it work with files in FLAC format and still show me CD cover art?

Any advice on which controller and what music file formats I should consider using is appreciated.

Thanks.

What matters is that it is a loss-less format. I've used both lossless Windows MEdia Audio (.wma) and .wav lossless and they both do the job if your device supports either.
