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 |

Lossy : for both my Cowon J3 and my computer: Nero AAC 1.5.4 at q.65 (~240 - 265kbps).
Lossless: for archiving (one file per track copied to my external hard drive): Monkey's Audio v3.99 (4.06 for the whole bundle) Extra High which is not that slow to encode with an i7  . |

QUOTE (Billytheonion @ Feb 22 2011, 06:55) I don't think AAC is going anywhere in my life time. Not like im going to wake up one day and Apple announce they no longer support AAC. The Almighty Apple would never do that to us! |

Well I did that at first, but there is a noticeable time gap between some tracks during playback (files' length is not any different from Extra High) on foobar2000, because it apparently takes too much out of the CPU to load the file. (Or because Windows doesn't give foobar2000 enough attention, I don't know.) Even though I don't usually play my lossless files (I transfer most of them to my external hard drive), in case I have to, I don't like to face that time gap, all the more so as there's not much size difference between Insane and Extra High. |

FLAC -8 for storage (the longer encoding time makes not an ounce of difference considering how rarely i encode)
and vorbis 128kbit/s for lossy so a decent amount will fit on my mp3 player (cowon S9) i have a small selection of 96kbps mp3's for ringtones as well but theres only about 30 tracks compared to some 5000 flacs and oggs. |
