Downloads from you?? Whatever format you prefer to use. :)

Personal usage/sharing out of print tapes - .mp3 since its cross platform between the PC and the Mac (iTunes unfortunately doesn't play .ogg, nor does Adobe Audition.). Otherwise I likely would make the .ogg jump.

Editing/recording - .wav ONLY. (Till I get told to use a better format by the experts (which do INCLUDE you.))

I'd probably use FLAC over .wav where available -- it's got all the advantages aside from ubuituity (losslessness), but is also decently compressed. (and since it's lossless, you can convert between it and uncompressed .wav without any corruption -- something not true about anything to/from .mp3 or to/from .ogg).

I'm not switching from .WAV for recording and editing anytime soon, and I don't think anyone else is either. It's uncompressed, and can handle pretty much any resolution you need; the limitation is the software reading it.

More info please! Does the plugin work on the mac??

Audition (windows only) runs fine thru Crossover on my Intel mac.
