Happy new year to everyone
 As last year and the year before, I invite every HA.org members to answer a few questions. 920 persons take part to the same poll in 2007. And in 2008, a new record was broken with more than 1200 participants. I would thank the HA.org team who makes this score possible by giving to this poll a lot of visibility (it was pinned and appeared on HA portal during several weeks). I invite of course everyone to break it in the next months. With all datas we gathered in the last year we now have nice and interesting curves:  (click to enlarge) I let you comment this ____ NB: To keep this first post short, I will post the links to previous polls and all exact datas a bit later.

As "main" I voted Vorbis for lossy as it works on PC plus every portable I've ever owned, and FLAC for lossless.
My main DAP plays musepack and speex so I've started trying them for music and audiobooks on that. It records wavepack! Oddly, for me mp3 comes in slightly behind Vorbis on portability as every time I install a Linux distro it does not come with mp3 and it takes at least a little while to find a decoder. |
