Mine are raw WAV files, but one could use flac or ape lossless
compression, the former seems to be more popular, and therefore is
likely to be better supported, than the latter, but note that some
versions of Microsoft Media Player won't support either without adding
extra codecs, or some such.

Since flac is open source it can continue to always be available. All else
failing, anyone who wants can re-use the source code to get at the flac
file contents. It also works fine, so I don't see it dissappearing any time
soon.
