Everything I own burned in the fire!!!!!!!!!!
Mostly lossless WMA and FLAC, also CD's, SACD's, PCM, and vinyl.

you should.. and it's not expensive really to get into it.. you can of course take it up in $$ if you want.. but like me.. i just wanted a 1970's Pioneer TT to do some occasional listening to some vinyl. A 70's era Pioneer that I could never afford back then.. i can easily now.. they are inexpensive usually.
get yourself a turntable, get a good cartridge and needle and some vinyl... and sit back and enjoy. (be sure your current gear has a phono input though, alot of modern day gear doesn't offer them anymore).
PolkFest 2012, who's going>?
Vancouver, Canada Sept 30th, 2012 - Madonna concert
Hate to admit it, but more and more, my listening consists of mp3, flac, wma etc... lately I went as far as using my Sony Ericsson w910i as a source :o
TTs? didn't like 'em even back in the 80s.
once enough music is released in blu-ray's "DTS-HS Master Audio" format, I'll look into buying a decent BR player.

Reecords and CDs mostly, also FM radio and some reel to reel tape.
My kids got me an iPod which I dutifully loaded with some of my collection (Apple lossless), but I find the interface clunky and I am not often compelled to use it.

In the beginning, all knowledge was new!

CD, iPod (different formats) and vinyl.
I plan to buy a cheap SendStation to bypass the iPod amp and connect the iPod to an indoor home stereo and garage stereo. But, if I'm really listening, it's CDs only.
I tried hooking up my turntable to the main indoor system but the buzz and crackling low-quality vinyl made it unusable. The vinyl now lives in the garage system, where buzz is acceptable.
On proper vinyl: Yes, vinyl records sound better than all other formats. But, to get that sound, you'll need an expensive turntable, pre-amp, amp and somewhat expensive collection of good vinyl records. Also, you'll need to properly store the records and tweak the turntable. That is alot of money, time and space.
On improper vinly: Hook it up in your garage to release your scratched-up childhood collection and relive the carefree days of the 70s or 80s or early 90s with some Miller High Life, PBR or Coors Extra Gold. Mullet optional but preferred.
