What codecs do you use on a regular basis? This includes your ripping / encoding preferences, but also the format(s) of music that you regularly buy online (iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp, etc…). As such, multiple choices are allowed.

FLAC (-8) for archival and home use, since storage and CPU power are cheap and I want a lossless backup of my albums.
MP3 (Lame -V3) for mobile use, since I've only ever been able occasionally ABX specific problem samples or "encoder killers" at that quality, never actual music, and only ever in a very quiet room with headphones. Good enough for me  I've gone with FLAC and MP3 to be as compatible as possible with players and hardware etc. This post has been edited by KozmoNaut: Jan 17 2013, 15:26 |
