The former poll asking this question is hopelessly outdated. When it was started, Vorbis had no hardware support, AAC was very little supported (iPod didn't support AAC, iTunes hadn't been released for Windows, the Nero AAC codec was still to be launched), and there was lots of hope surrounding MPC SV8.
The scene changed considerably since then, so I believe it's worth starting a new poll, showing how the forum member's habits changed in two years. Regards; Roberto. -------------------- Get up-to-date binaries of Lame, AAC, Vorbis and much more at RareWares:

I'd love to say AAC but I use mainly lossless or musepack.
