What is your go-to audio format and why?

[yumachan]

I imagine WAV and MP3 are the most common audio formats for Otome, but lately I've been seeing FLAC and M4A as well.
Please tell me which audio formats you prefer to use and why.

I use MP3. I like it because 320kbps MP3s offer high sound quality and small file sizes, plus they are highly compatible.

I'm drawn to the WAV format, but the file sizes are just too big.
Since I don't have much money to spend on storage, I stick with MP3 (320kbps) for everything except special releases.

Some labels only sell in WAV format, so I find myself wishing they would offer MP3s as well.
(I know I could just convert them myself, of course.)

Let me know what you recommend!

I agree, MP3 is my favourite since the file sizes are so much smaller, and i honestly dont really notice a big difference in sound quality. MP3 is also so much easier to store on places like telegram or Google drive, i honestly really prefer them!!

Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm glad there's someone who shares the same opinion.
The file size and high level of convenience of the MP3 format are appealing.
