Does the iPod support APE files?
This is a lossless compression format. The iPod supports AAC, MP3, WAV, etc, but officially APE is not listed.
APE is a great format because of saving space compared to wav, but with the same quality.
Is there any "hack" or mod to play APE files on the iPod without converting to WAV or MP3?
Thanks.

I'm not sure if this helps or if it's the route you want to go.
He is just converting from windows lossless format (APE) to Mac lossless format (ALAC). But I believe the iPod can't play these files. But I would be glad to hear that's true, because that would be the solution for me too.

The Cowon iAudio M3 looks very interesting. FLAC is not among the supported file types, according its website.
EDIT: FLAC is added with a firmware upgrade.
Have you compared its sound quality to the iPod?
The inclusion of the dock, portable dock, and a nice pair of earbuds (from Cresyn) made the package pretty attractive. I got mine from Newegg.
