flac. a good encoder gives you the ability to select your level of compression, so if you need to shrink files down a little you can always increase the compression level.
I really don't want compression at all.
With increasing storage space even on small devices like iPods, non-lossy files can be stored in reasonably large numbers.
I don't think i need to have my entire music collection on a 1GB iPod at the sacrifice of compression.
Honestly, with 2 terabyte drives at close to $100 a pop, to me, file size is becoming irrelevant
True, but if i were to rip my files to WAV lets say, 60-100 MB per file is a bit too large.
Flac is still kicking around?
I just haven't heard much about it lately.
Can flac files be played back on common players like iPods? I'm assuming they can with codec installation or even replacing the base player software to something else.
