What format are most people using, and why?


Are most people just using WAV or another lossless format like FLAC?

I have personally used FLAC because of its ability to store metadata like cd and track name info, file sizes being ~25% smaller than WAV, ability to be streamed, and obviously the lossless aspect.

I am thinking about re-encoding my collection and was wondering what other people are using.

Thanks.

I am archiving all my analog now using DSD files. They are much better than regular 16/44.1 and still just a little better than 24/192. Unfortunately you need $$$ for this kind of set-up, but the payoff is euphoric!
