For audio the smallest may be 'amr' but for quality it would have to be MP4 or the opensource Ogg Vorbis..

With the LameEnc DLL thou at 128 kbit/sec too the quality vs file size would be reasonable

use an mp3 encoder, but, the more you compress audio the poorer the audio quality.

a normal mp3 has about 80 to 90% of the original data discarded.

Use dBpowerAMP to convert your mp3 to 64kbps ogg, and play using OggPlay (free) or PowerMP3.

@ Lamont:

This page should give you enough information to get started.

http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/musicuiq.htm

One thing you shouldn't do is convert MP3 files directly into Ogg files. Some encoders allow it, but the resulting quality is really beneath anything. You make Ogg files the same way you make MP3 files: stick a CD in your drive and let the program rip and encode it.

THAT truly depends. Between an uncompressed wav encoded to a 320kbps MP3 and an Ogg Vorbis file.. There ud be a sea difference. But otherwise its 10-15 % unless I am wrong..
