A pro-free (as in freedom) audio file formats propaganda poem. The text is original and licensed under CC-BY 3.0 as well.
Audio File Formats can be confusing at first,
I hope to change this, with this tiny verse!FLAC is lossless, FLAC does compress,
with FLAC support there is no mess!AIFF and WAV are too heavy to race,
Use FLAC to save lots of server space!Vorbis is small and its use is free,
AAC and MP3 are tied to a patent tree!FLAC and Vorbis are the best-sounding kin,
Leave restrictions behind and install a plug-in!

However for recording purposes WAV is good. Because it's easy to read and write - it's light on the CPU making it possible to playback and record multitrack recordings (for exampe in Ardour, a free-and-opensource DAW). Using FLACs instead makes things stutter and block. FLAC is not for multitrack ;-)

@Erokia: FLAC having same quality as WAV weights less. If you want to save more space sacrificing some quality - you can use Vorbis.

Doesn't flac take up more server space?
