Hi Steve. Looks like you weren't listening when the following answer was sent to the list on Tuesday: Hi.
There's no 'best' in terms of sound quality for lossless formats as they all yield the same result; that is, a music file that is perfect in comparison to the original. However, you might want to consider what formats are supported by most software and hardware players and I think you'd find that lossless WMA is probably the most well supported. You can use goldwave to convert from WAV to lossless WMA and back. Regards.
