I don't know of a live CD that plays the Apple lossless files yet,
however, I know that there are programs in Linux that will play these
file. The same guy who wrote DeCSS (DVD Jon from Norway) has written
some tools that allow people to play these file formats.

See http://www.nanocrew.net/ for much more info.

Thanks,

Brian

I may have found something with AmaroKLive. I have time over break,
we'll see how it goes.

I tried AmarokLive (latest distro). Very cool. But no support for mp4
or m4a. I have been told those extensions will be supported in the
next release.
