which audio codec that rockbox supports is the best?

There are so many audio codecs out there. Which one is the most popular and the best. for example to compare on this subject: my opinion for video would be "Divx" because of the extreme compression ratio as well as hardly as loss of video quality. I would be interested in converting .mp3's into that similar format. for example maybe shedding down an average mp3 size of 4MB into 1-2MB but still having great quality such as a 128kbps mp3 song or possibly alittle more quality? i have searched the internet on this issue and found no answer on this. Id appreciate if someone could give me some insight.

I have research this and now I can understand why people would use rockbox rather than the firmware especially on the new annoying code they put in it such as new forms of DRM or similar things.

The above link to Hydrogen Audio is spot on for this question.  Though I suggest you read their wiki before posting in the forums.

No.
No no no no no.
Don't covert lossy files to lossy.

Converting a 128kbps MP3 file into another lossy format is going to sound terrible.

At this rate, you're best off just re-ripping all of your CDs into a lossless codec (i.e. FLAC), and then transcoding to a lossy format (i.e. Vorbis).
