Which format to use - mp3 vs. windows lossless,


This has probably been covered before, but as a new fan of the Gon, I'll try to be concise. I have downloaded my music in mp3 format in the past. I decided to try Window's lossless format.
The same song in mp3 was recorded at 320 kbps and 12.56MB file size. In lossless it is 470 to 940 variable bits and 36.9MB.
I thought there would be a noticeable improvement, but it was only marginal. My question is going forward, which format should I use for the best fidelity. Thanks.

Wow, I'd like to know what clock radio you're using. I did the same thing and noticed a huge difference on my main system, but on the iPod, in the car it is hard to notice. I guess it depends on how revealing your system is. If you don't notice much improvement, use the smaller file size. For me I went out and bought a 1T Hard drive.
