Ok, I was just wondering what you all think is the BEST!!! sounding audio format, mp3, wma, wav, ogg anything i missed???

I really dont want to use wav since the 3 minute audio is like 34Mg

Also with my encoder I can make my mp3's at 320k bitrate (min) is this anygood?

Any ideas?

I compress my wav-format workfile into about 192kbps mp3 in the final version and haven't heard any complains about sound quality yet.. quite the opposite.

Ogg Vorbis > MP3, especially at low bitrates. However,
1) you can't use Ogg Vorbis audio in an AVI container
2) not everyone can play it back either

So go with MP3. I suggest a bitrate of at least 160; 320 might be a little excessive for online distribution purposes.

But before you do that, fix your sigbar. Forum rules restrict signature images to 600x40 or smaller.

For distrobution: MP3, 160kbs or better.
For editing: WAV.

All of my CDs on my computer are OGG ~192 kbps. All of my downloaded music is minimum 192 kbps MP3.

I have to agree with Scintilla. OGG Vorbis > MP3. I sent someone a ~192 kbps rip of a song they were making an AMV for, and they liked it better than their WAV/320 kbps MP3.

Otherwise,

Editing: WAV
Distro: MP3

And the rest is all personal preference... And my preference is OGG.
