Maybe I'm old fashioned this way, but since mp3s and ogg's don't have CD
quality sound, I prefer buying the CD, then ripping to FLAC and using
any player that supports FLAC decoding on any platform... or... just put
the CD in the drive and play it. When I looked at itunes purchases, I
found that buying the CD was much less than buying every song on a cd in
itunes format, so from my experience it's higher quality for less if you
go with my antique 'buy the CD' method.
I have exactly one audio system that is high quality enough that I would
even care about the difference between lossy compression and CD
quality. I do rip CDs to lossless formats on that, but I rarely listen
to music there any more.
Anything portable (cars, phones, mp3 players, etc.) for me and ambient
noise almost always FAR outweighs any compression loss. So I've decided
I don't really care any more whether I get pure CD quality audiou unless
I'm in front of my Myth box, and then I'm usually watching, not just
listening.
