Best lossless audio format for archiving/master copy?

WAV or WMA Lossless? Or something else?

Answers:

wav is the industry standard for audio recordings. Most of the major recording programs used use wav files for the best quality of sound, aka least sound loss. They are big files, so archiving to dvd is a good idea. You can archive in WAV, but that%26#39;s just raw, uncompressed CD audio. You may as well just rip them into ISO files rather than into WAV tracks.

If you want to compress, but still be lossless. You can use WMA Lossless, which will cut the size on disk down to 30 to 50 percent, but retain the full quality of the original. If you want an alternative, another popular archive/lossless codec is FLAC.
