    MP3 is the better one in my opinion, make suree that when you rip from CD to your PC that you rip at 128Kbps - it's hard to tell the difference in sound from 256Kbps and uses half the memory.

    In media player go to Tools --> Options. Then click on the Rip Music tab. You can change the bitrate there.


    I would use mp3 but only because its the more common format and I have an iPod. But theres very little difference in file size so wma would be fine.
