Which codec (mp3,WMA, or AAC) is better for just voices?

My DAP would convert it to WMA. It ends up as one of those three and has to be converted.

Slysoft:
in that case it just sounds like you have a case of the "don't have a cowon" syndrome

rkruger:
You could probably also downsample to a 22050 Hz sampling frequency to save space. That sets the Nyquist frequency at ~11kHz, which is still above the upper bound of the voice range.

I wanted a Cowon at one time, but I'm very pleased with my Zune subscription. I like the ability to download music as I want without breaking any laws.

That would be a good idea. I have no idea how to do it, but that would probably work (not sure if my DAP can play it, but I could check).

16kHz sampling rate would set the Nyquist frequency at 8kHz, which would still be enough. However, since 16kHz is not a divider of 44.1kHz, check to see if your device supports it.
