Do you prefer an audio format other than MP3 and AAC? If so, what?

It really depends on what you're using the audio for. One major question is does it need to be compatible with a wide variety of media players or can you get away with something a little more specialized. Being a person of the "close enough" mindset, MP3 will serve the purpose for most projects but there are exceptions.

I still have a few MP3's around and all my laptops use MP3 technology with thousands of songs. I have live streaming but there's no replacement for a DVD burner and MP3's and going to the library to get free music. The MP3 is dead long live the MP3!

SGT Private RallyPoint Member It honestly depends on the type of music I am listening to. For Classical and Jazz music, the uncompressed FLAC format is my preference. For the rest of my music, I prefer mp3's encoded in a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) of 320.
