I let iTunes handle the transcoding for portables as part of the process of moving the files onto the device. I don’t bother keeping a low quality version of everything. More recently I’ve transcoded the original files to a couple of different formats to suit different media players/devices and to retain cover art but if I had to pick I’d probably settle on FLAC as the best all round format for quality and compatibility. wav as everything worked fine, I was using iTunes which stores its cover art in a separate file.
