If you have the disk space, use wav as it provides a true copy of the
original. Next use flac as it is a lossless format and provides a
decent way to backup your music without losing any quality. You can
rebuild your CD's from the flac files. Mp3's are a lossy format. Ogg
is a lossy format.
You really should refer to this codec as Vorbis, not Ogg. Ogg containers
can be used with several audio (vorbis, flac and speex) and video (theora)
codecs. For more information see:
