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.

just a note... you should be seeing more than a 25% reduction in file size if you use FLAC at the highest compression ratio. It should be closer to 40-45% reduction.
