It was a long time since guruboolez's poll in 2009. I hope he is not angry that I copy/paste his poll.
The difference with previous polls is that this one is multiple choice. You are free to choose a few codecs. Like Codec A for DAP and Codec B for PC. I would ask administrators, please, move topic to poll section. I could not create a topic in poll section for some reason. This post has been edited by IgorC: Feb 17 2011, 20:29 |

I myself, mostly rip to FLAC, however, as far as others go, very few people seem to even know what lossless audio is. Even if I didn't rip anything to mp3, I'd still have to deal with it, as there's still the rest of the world that seems bent on buying, or sharing, compressed songs. I wonder what will happen when storage constraints don't really apply?

QUOTE (2tec @ Mar 2 2011, 05:09)  I wonder what will happen when storage constraints don't really apply? Realistically they already don't - certainly in HDD terms. Portables are still somewhat restricted, although 32GB can hold a lot of lossless albums :-) Up until now I've used FLAC for archival and stuff I felt 'deserved' it* and MP3 v0 for stuff I didn't think needed FLAC and/or which I wasn't worried about having archived. But now that I've upgraded my fileserver with a huge HDD I suspect things will mostly be FLAC from now on. * hopelessly irrational, I know. But human psychology is a strange and wondrous thing. Perhaps someone should look into the placebo effect in relation to audio encoding? (eg, ABXing suggests I can't tell the difference between MP3 v0 and lossless, but I somehow feel some things are better if they're lossless).
