"The Beatles" Apple Lossless on iTunes?

Has anyone downloaded "The Beatles" on iTunes? What file format is it? 256AAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC)? Some blogs say the download is ALAC, but Apple doesn't specify. Thanks!

I understand the benefit of having the CDs. That's what I use, stereo and mono versions. I'm just curious if the iTunes downloads are ALAC, but don't want to purchase to find out. I assume they are 256AAC, but some blogs have stated "Apple Lossless".

Looks like Apple would use Aflac.

This is exactly what sucks about all this new downloading of music. The people selling you this stuff won't even tell you what you are getting. Why bother, nobody cares. It is unimportant to the average MP3 user. You can't even ask "the store" a question about it . No, just send them your money along with the other 1000 persons a second who are making them rich VIA unpersonal internet sales. We are allowing the world to "Dumb Down" everything that matters, and here is one more example. McDonalds will soon offer sushi and we listen to music on our telephone!

Went to my local library and downloaded all the Beatle CD's to my Mac PRO.
Cost nothing!

Gfroman: Positively smashing idea! And speaking of smashing, I just broke into my local high-end emporium and scored myself a pair of Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage speakers that I've always really wanted!

Cost (so far): nothing!
