FLAC. It's the future.
We don't need another proprietary format.

Number of devices around the world which can play MP3s - lots. Lots of lots. Probably billions.
NUmber of devices around the world which can play MusicDNA format - none.
Chances of that format overtaking MP3 before we give up on 'files' altogether - about the same.

Aside from anything else, an MP3 file can actually do most of the things they're claiming their format can do that they claim is 'better', just that nobody botheres to embed the information in the MP3. Why do they think they'll suddenly bother now?

I like FLAC, only problem is the file size

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg

Ogg Vorbis I have liked in terms of the size/bitrate comparison, FLAC is great in terms of the quality, but the payload between file size/quality makes it a non viable option for me.
