Apologies if this is a repeat thread. I noticed everyone getting all excited about PJ shows being released in FLAC, which got me wondering: Do most of you guys listen to most/all of your music in FLAC form? Seems like that would eat up a shitload of space. If not, what quality do you usually listen to?
And, obviously, I am only talking about when you listen to music files, not vinyl or CD.

I still do most of my listening via a 160gb iPod, so lossless would be a huge hassle.
Me too, actually - I just don't carry everything with me at once.
Ah, interesting. I like to have it all at my fingertips. But I've been out of space for a while, so it won't be long before I gotta start making some decisions.

I edited the post above but I may as well put it here instead - just looked, I currently have 5613 songs and 464 albums loaded (with 1.5 GB free space). Still plenty of stuff.

My phone's default player can't play FLAC, so mobile listening is one of the biggest reasons why I don't really have lossless files, space too, kinda. 320 kbps is perfect for me (many of my files have lower quality too, actually), I don't think I can tell the difference (I don't have particularly good headphones either, anyways).
Stream at 320. I have some hard files in Flac and Wav but generally speaking a lot of my music listening is while driving, skiing, running, etc....and 320 is enough. At home ill spin vinyl. or again the 320 through my home stereo.

I have 320s on my phone for mobile listening (yard work, disc golf, or if I need some tunes in a crunch). But everything else is lossless. I burn CDs for the car.
