wav and aiff generally are 10mb per minute depending on how rich the content is spectrally (ie passable bandwidth) whereas mp3/acc/any other compressed format is about 1mb per minute (depending on kbps ripped, but still not close to wav or aiff) with the exception of flac which only compresses minutely but still compresses.

Both statement are nonsense:
- FLAC does not destroy harmonic content, as can be easily proven.
- "Compress minutely"? I wouldn't call lossless compression ratios of 30-50% (depending on the type of music) "minutely".
You might have valid points (I'm not a studio wiz and I have cloth ears anyway ;-)), but they're really called into question if your post contains such egregious mistakes as the above two.
