Question What Digital format is your Music in?

In my Creative Muvo TX 256MB, It mainly consists of MP3 and WMA.
I could put all my songs in WMA (120 songs), but I dont want crap WMAs, The WMAs I have already are good quality.

As this is a iPod forum, most of you will probably vote either MP3 or AAC.

Everything I rip is at 128kbps AAC, mostly for consistency. I also download a lot of stuff from iTMS, and it also comes in 128kbps AAC.

I do have some legacy 128kbps-192kbps MP3 that came from other online sources such as eMusic that I don't want to convert due to potential quality loss.

Mainly Mp3. I have them at various bit rates. Most are 192+, recently all I have ripped to is --Alt-Preset Standard Mp3. I also have about 25GBs of FLAC.
