What is your preferred audio format?

Do you like your tunes lossless or lossy?
>> No. 4208
I stream pretty much all of my music off of either Spotify or Pandora.

I have been listening to 320 kbps mp3 my whole life and have never felt the need to change.

But I am totally open to being convinced.

I'd prefer FLAC, but they take up too much space. MP3 is fine for me right now

FLAC and VBR V0 MP3s in most cases.

If I can afford the space, SACD rips are great.

mp3. I actually gank videos from youtube and convert them to mp3. I'm informed that the quality is absolute arse, but I listen to too much loud music/don't care enough. The songs I gank are generally youtube exclusives or trending music, and I use AoA audio extractor free version to extract them to 132 bit mp3s.

Don't generally care for the other formats because I have to convert them for them to work on portable mp3 players.

Mostly 320 mp if I can find it for the player sometimes FLAC if its on the desktop and I got the surround hooked in. Speaking of Audio anyone know anything about earphones

Found this pair and the overall specs look pleasing.

I'm the kind of person who is irrationally opposed to compression artifacts, whether or not they're ones we can actually perceive.

So FLAC.
