.wav music files at 16 bit/44.1 Khz (standard redbook quality) are the best for practical use IMO.
The next time you're ripping CDs, use NCH Express Rip. This is bit-pefect and free of degredation like Windows Media Player - which is trash.
You can verfiy the quality of files using different CD burning softwares by using EAC (exact audio copy), another useful program.
