I moved it, and didn't realise most people can't vote in this forum. I can. It was misplaced in Prog Polls, however. Though I don't think it matters if people can vote via the poll options or not as they can always mention their vote in a post, I'll move this to General Polls since I'm sure such polls work there. Thanks. |

When I get a better sound card and speakers, FLAC/CD. At this point though it's really hard to tell the difference between 320/V0 mp3 and CD and lossless formats. Overall, V0/320 kbps mp3, because FLAC files are overall too impractical, but essential for classical recordings, if possible.

CD's are my preferred, although 320KPBS MP3 are probably my most used, if only for practicality.

mp3 320 is just the most convenient.
Vinyl is great in all but the records are... well... large. Cd's can be tedious, FLAC are just pointless unless you are some over-bearing audiophile. Ape, well who the hell uses ape! mp3 128 is alright if you need to save space but still want quasi-decent quality. WMA is good, but only microsoft-friendly products can use them (bane on the iPods!!!) wav is just a very, very, very large file that really is only good for audio mixing, not pleasure listening. And then the others dwindle into obscurity.....

1- Vynil, even if storage becomes difficult.
2- CD for the sound and the feel/artwork/sitting down while noone can just hit "shuffle" and ruin your listen 3- OGG for digital formats. mp3 isn't better and is proprietary. plus, i've always been reassured (no objective reason) by Ogg at max quality (~500kbps) I find flac to be the most useless (for me), unless you're in the following situation: you want to see if you can differentiate 96kHz (or more) encoding from 48/44 and you managed to get a 96kHz version of a studio recorded track. If not, just buy the CD. Equal quality plus the artwork/booklet/physical format... |

FLAC is very useful you don`t lose quality and also more and more players are including a codec to reproduce this kind of format.
Also is very useful for long term storage.
Vinyl is just... impractical...

All my friends comment about the ticks and scratches on vinyl. I just tell them I don't listen to the ticks and scratches, I listen to the bloody music. All this high tech crap makes me want to go to the toilet and lose my buiscuts.

Interesting, bllerrrrggghhh. There is software that can fix those things somewhat but you have to rip them to a digital format these days. Back in the vinyl days I did have a device you could run the turntable signal through. Didn't work really well, but for the more serious record flaws, it was better than listening to the music straight up. Edited by Slartibartfast - October 20 2010 at 10:33 |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Replace MP3 with OGG and you have my answer. Although I do have FLAC backups for all my physical discs.
