holy poo poo wma decoding also your wrong about quality
(192kbps+)：MPC = OGG > AAC > WMA > MP3

Actually, at 192kbps+, you probably won't care what codec you used. It'll all sound pretty much perfect.

Codec powerplay is only really important at the low end.

And as for the lossless codecs... err... the definition of "lossless" would mean that they all have the same quality, that is, perfect quality. So I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that some lossless have better quality than others.

It's quality/size ratio.

Personally, at 64kbps, OGG > LC-AAC > MP3/WMA, with OGG the only one giving half decent quality.  I'd probably slot ATRAC3 between OGG and LC-AAC.
OGG's actually the best lossy format overall out of those codecs.
Dunno how well MPC does - apparently it only does well at high bitrates.
