I must disagree - some people that are anal-retentitive about audio quality tend to avoid the MP3 codec for the lossy formats (yes, that includes me) and prefer files encoded in Ogg-Vorbis -q5/6 or Musepack on the standard or insane setting.
I personally only use lossless codecs - normally Flac now, but still have many GBs of ape files - to encode music that will be archived here. And I always prefer having a clean copy of the master material rather than a frequently shitty encoding job done in a low bitrate (anything below 192 bitrate in my book, or damn near any CBR MP3 file) or done through an atrocity like Xing software.
