Remember those old guys? They made epic renders, I think one of them was called DaVinci, and all they used was MS Paint. Sometimes it's just skill....

I use MP3 with Rhythmbox on my computer. I also have an iPod touch (which is why I use MP3s). I'm getting an iPhone 4 here soon whenever it arrives in the mail at work.

so how many of you would applaude a game that lets you copy your own favorite music files into a game folder and plays it ?

To be honest id rather just play my music in a seperate program than the game, so i have my full libary and better controlls over it. So id say it was more inportant to have good sound settings, as i wouldent wont background music(from the game) to be played, but a few sound effects i would like to hear to alert me as to what is going on.

In the format they happen to be in the CD or whatever, where I put them to my comp... I use .ogg only in FPSC. And I listen to music with my cellphone. I think it's stupid to buy some other MP3 player, when you have one in your phone.

320-quality mp3 or FLAC + Foobar
I'm just used to it even if I'm not much of an audiophile.

Spotify + mp3.

On the topic of Spotify is there any way to force it to buffer a song completely before it starts playing? For the first week it was fine, but now it always pauses halfway through a track to buffer and it's extremely annoying.

[Edit] To add pausing it for ages and then resuming playing doesn't seem to help - it's like it stops downloading when you pause playback for some reason.

The best quality i can get my hands on(and of course what winamp supports). Though because i mostly listen to small bands this end up being mp3.

@RalphY

You must have awful connection speeds i can use Spotify on a 3G connection with no buffering issues at all and that is on the high bitrate version of the music.

Spotify and downloading things on Xbox live are the only two things that go slow at the moment. Interesting what you say about 3G - might try using it on my phone.
