It was a while since his last post. Well, there isn't much to see anyway.  Development of  most of audio encoders is finished.
 
 Definitely! 

Thanks anyway.

Listen to the music, not the media it's on.

I chose mp3 (LAME 192 VBR for pop, 320 VBR for classical), because that's what my current rips are.  Yesterday I came across a post that got me thinking about re-ripping my CDs to Vorbis (q6), but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.  I ripped a few albums and compared the mp3 to Vorbis, and I thought the mp3 sounded a bit harsher.  The Vorbis sounded a bit more refined, which I liked.

Thanks to foobar2000 on Android I use lossy WavePack (no correction files) more and more, but that's for my own CD and vinyl rips, the majority of my Bandcamp and similar downloads are still AAC.
WavPack 5.7.0 -b384hx6cmv / qaac64 2.80 -V 100

Opus - as it works very well with Chiptunes and any other kind of old computer music :)

Thank You guys for all votes. 

If somebody hasn't voted yet, please, feel free to do it.

As for lossless poll, I think there isn't much sense as FLAC has 80%+ of share in  2018 Format poll [LOSSLESS]

Yeah, still MP3. FhG AAC for multichannel and Opus for mobile devices.

AAC (& some MP3) here for listening on the go, made from FLAC at home.
Also working with AC3 and DTS while messing with DVDs and BluRays.
