what soundformat is the best to use?
Wav, wma, mp3 or ogg?
wav are huge, mp3 must be bought (licence)
ogg is pretty good AFAIk and wmv is good too, but can it be used without buying a licence?

.Ogg is the way to go From their website What licensing applies to the Ogg Vorbis format? The Ogg Vorbis specification is in the public domain. It is completely free for commercial or noncommercial use. That means that commercial developers may independently write Ogg Vorbis software which is compatible with the specification for no charge and without restrictions of any kind. However, the software packages we have developed are available under various free/open-source software licenses with varying allowances and restrictions. What licensing applies to the included Ogg Vorbis software? Most (but not all) of our utility software is released under the terms of the GNU GPL. The libraries and SDKs are released under our BSD-like license. Note that developers are still free to use the specification to write implementations of Ogg Vorbis licensed under other terms. We make commercial, closed source software. Can I use Ogg Vorbis at all? What licensing do I need to pay? Again, there are no licensing fees for any use of the Ogg Vorbis specification. As a commercial developer, you are free to create and sell (or give away) open or closed source implementations of Vorbis encoders, decoders, or other tools. However, if you use our software rather than writing an independent implementation, you must respect the terms of the license. Our libraries are available under our BSD-like license and can be used whole or in part by closed source applications. Are there licensing fees for distributing, selling, or streaming media in the Ogg Vorbis format? No.
