V0 is great for that size,but you can do everything with FLAC even you can make your own rip or burn into a CD to play in the car :)

all i have been downloading lately has been flac. i'm very picky with music quality and low bitrate mp3's just won't cut it for me.

If you want to hear the obvious infinite difference of FLAC and Mp3 regardless if its V0 or not. Use a transparent pair of speakers. You will realize that the increase loudness of Mp3 tracks is mostly due to the loss of it's fullness due to compression.

I'll take a 192Kbps AAC over ANY mp3.

If bandwidth and HD space weren't an issue, I'd say FLAC all the way. But V0, or even V2 are mostly good enough and they are a lot smaller. I'd have to buy 3TB of new storage to be able to listen to all my music from my HD if I'd only download FLAC.
And there's of course also the issue of compatibility. My legacy mp3-player won't play it, and converting files is just too much trouble.
I'm sure we'll only be downloading lossless in the future, but the technology (mp3-players/bandwidth/HDs) just aren't fully suited for that yet.
I like flac format, but you must have a good MP3 player
