m4a for music that I purchase or that iTunes Match picks up. Highest quality available mp3 for everything else.
95% of my listening happens on my smarthphone, 5% on the laptop at work.
I use headphones at work, earphones outside, and speakers at home
Always get the iTunes version (one way or another ) or 320.
Macbook Pro (Can't wait until I switch from my 13" MBP to my 15 inch one. I don't get how people listen to anything out loud on the ****** 13's speakers
