Which format is better?
Clannad_92:
so FLAC is good bcause it preserve sound quality?
Interesting...thank s all...
halfelite:
if you want lossless i would choose flac over WMA loseless any day for compatibility reasons, most AVR's, audio players will play FLAC very few will play WMA loseless. if you are using this to listen to music in the car go mp3 as you wont get the enjoyment of going FLAC.
krumm:
Better is subjective. For me size and compatibility with out losing noticeable quality is the best, for someone else losing even unnoticeable quality is bad. I consider well encoded mp3's the best for my needs.
Hadouken:
Flac is good since it's versitile (can transcode to any other format). Other than that, I can't really see a reason to get it over MP3 V0 or V2.
kitamesume:
1) MP3 - most, if not all, affordable portable players supports it. small in size so you could put a whole lot of songs on the player, quality is still great since i doubt you'd be bringing a 500$ headpiece with you.
problems : lossy format. thats it.
2) FLAC - lossless, not as large as wav. good for archives and occasional listening if you want pure quality.
problems : pretty big in size. not every songs has a flac version available. theres only a few portable player that supports flac. needs a really good headpiece and soundcard to be appreciated.
