when you guys download tracks do you download them as mp3 or wav or what?
just a general question

search for the countless arguments about that one...

basically WAV is uncompressed, the best quality possible... but it takes up a lot more space and a lot of stores charge a wav handling fee for every track you buy, so it comes out to more $.

mp3's technically is compressed files, so some data is lost. whether it's noticeable or not is up to you. i personally think 320kbps is fine, but others argue that they wouldn't pay for a compressed file.

320kb is plenty fine IMO

i never pay for wavs. only time i pay more for a track is if i am buying vinyl.

320k is your animal. I agree with Z.
