I would recommend cdex (mentioned in another message as well) over dbpowerAMP, 
but that's a matter of preference.  My recommendation for a lossless format 
is FLAC.  It's faster to decode than others, it achieves comparable 
compression ratios, and oggenc will not only transcode from FLAC, but will 
also copy Vorbis comments from it.
