Apple Lossless Rip To HDD

I was wondering if anybody had tried burning a disc with apple lossless format files if it would be transferred to the hard drive? I have all of my music (with the exception of the Protected AAC files I've bought from iTunes) in lossless and I'd like to transfer some favorites to the hard drive on the z2. I was wondering if it would work, and if not, what would be a good file format to use. I know that mp3s won't be transferred so are there any file formats that will? From what I read in the manual it sounded like you basically needed the actual cd and nothing else would work. I've searched around on the forum and on the web and can't find anything about it, so just thought I'd check to see if anybody has had any success. Thanks

The Z1/Z2 can ONLY rip from audio formatted CD's. I know the manual makes it sound like you need commercial CD's, but you don't. Compilations burned from iTunes work just fine.

 

Just burn your files to an audio-formatted CD and you'll be able to rip 'em no problem.

How do you create genre's so that it will not show up as others in the z2? I used itunes to rename all the genre based on what the z2 has and it was still listed as others. I used nero 8 to burn my cd.
