You should definitely use a lossles format : FLAC, WAV or AIFF.

far the most common one's.

But there were *never* forums specific to the SliMP3/SB(G)/SB2/SB3 when

It is difficult with the adding of a forum for every new product, to
justify the current state, based on this wasn't the way it used to be.
That's no longer relevant especially to the Forum newcomers.
