I like mp3. It is just the most used, and heard of, and all of my songs are on that format..so..why change?

Illegal file swapping's bad mmmkay.

MP3. I haven't downloaded anything new since UCI's on campus network takes away your bandwidth if you use kazaa.

hehe i dont download or use peer to peer file swapping programs but i have gotten mp3s and wmas over AIM and at LAN parties. nothin's like downloadin 30 songs at FAST speeds while there's a game going on! i think they are all good as long as you use the proper kbps for each file type.

Between the two, on the poll, it would be MP3. I hate WMA. What I rip my CDs with now is AAC though. I like Ogg Vorbis too, but they won't play on my iPod, so I just use AAC.

Between the two Mp3 compresses better while still saving nice quality sound.
