OGG......:thumbsup:
Which encoder & player do you use?
Does it have bit rate?
Which player do you use OGG on?
What about file size?
.flac files
Still in the process of ripping all my cds
Which audio format do you use for your portable music player and why?
Please state your player brand and model if you can, and which media player do you use to rip you music like Windows Media Player or iTune.
Apple Lossless, MP3 320/256/192. Since I am using an Ipod. Use Apple Lossless because I am using Westone UM3 and Shure 530SE IEMs. But Apple lossless is on avg 28Mb per song, nine times that of MP3 128 Need to upgrade HDD.

I should probably be using AAC files because they seem to sound better at the same size but since the car stereo won't play them, it would be inconvenient until I change car stereos.

My personal experience with AAC files is that... they sound horrible. By horrible I mean music ripped in the format seems to take on a totally different colour than what it is on the cd or an equivalent mp3 rip. Maybe you respond well to that sound, but I prefer a format that preserves the integrity of the recording as much as possible. I never thought much about AAC files before that, but after I discovered it (accidently), I've been avoiding and discouraging my friends from using that format.
Perhaps, you're right, but .mp3 files sound horrible compared to the CD, so what's the difference? I use them all the time and I've adapted to the underwhelming sound. There isn't a perfect lossy format, .ogg included.
They don't sound that horrible if you encode them adequately.... and if you use a player that decodes them adequately. ;p
