    1) .wav
    2) .flac
    3) Apple Lossless
    4) .aiff
    5).wma
    6) .mp3

    For me, I tend to listen to .wav and .mp3 mainly because;

    .wav is like ripping the music file straight from a CD without any compression of the sound quality and detail for bass + mid. & high tone.

    and

    .mp3 is very easy to find on internet but the down side is poor quality of sound stage and bad compression of sound tone.


    all of the above is just my opinion and may not be actual facts...

    Mp3 is pretty common. I've seen flac for concert stuff and WMA as well. The other ones are new to me lol.

    Not opinion but fact, mp3 is shit due to it's lossy compression (much infomation is lost) however is reasonable unless you are a audiophile and own high tech speakers.

    I myself rather flac if available cuz besides being lossless, it has better compression and other features.

    Both FLAC and ALAC.

    FLAC at home and ALAC when I'm on the go.

    Which one do I vote for?
