Re: [poll] -> what music format do you listen to lately
I do lossless FLAC CD rips at home and v8 OGG and 320kbps on my portable player.

I like having CDs, but don't want to damage them so I rip to FLAC for digital archival. As it's a 1:1 copy of what's on the disc, I won't run into quality loss from transcoding in lossy formats (averages of averages of averages). I can't even begin to hear a difference between lossless and a direct MP3 or OGG conversion so I go with the smaller file size provided by the compressed formats when on the go.
As for OGG vs MP3? I like to use open source when I can, but I can't hear a difference.
