I was considering NERO, anyone know anything about that? Thanks.
So you mean that you're not happy with the quality of AAC? In many tests it's proven to be right up there with OGG but you can consider increasing the bitrate and/or enablng VBR.

LOSSY FORMATS:
OGG, AAC, WMA, MP3

LOSSLESS FORMATS:
FLAC, Apple Lossless

If you want lossless music, don't use a lossy format.


I'd suggest doing a double blind ABX test (I'm guessing you haven't) and that will tell you for SURE whether you can actually tell the difference between the different audio formats and bit rates, if (and only if) you do the test properly.
