I'm a pleb to all this, but very pleased at increasing popularity to MP3 alternatives. (Was beginning to believe a whole generation will be brought up on crappy quality playback and this end up reducing the quality of recordings)
What do you play FLAC and/or APE files, a laptop? Any portable players play these formats?

There are a fair number of portable FLAC players depends on the capacity or specs you'd be after really though. The Sansa units are very popular, personally I use a rockboxed iPod though.
