What do you prefer to download? We have been putting wav files, but it occurred to me (duh) that maybe a smaller file may be easier. — Surf.The most dangerous of genres...

Good or bad, that’s often ALAC, ‘cause I’ve been locked into Apple stuff forever. I’ve not gone way overboard to uncompressed though. My listening platforms aren’t that primo. When I’m concerned about file size, say putting it on my phone, or an old school Shuffle for when running/biking, it is easy enough to down convert those tracks. Capt. Obvious in 3… 2… 1… you can’t really go the other direction. So yeah, give me a top(ish) tier lossy(ish) quality and I’ll sort portability if or as needed. — Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Top
