Default What format do you use to store recordings? Wav/Mp3?

Hi,
I have some recordings in my music package which are currently wave files.

Is wave format the best quality format for these files (I guess as they have been recorded directly to wave it will be). Or is there some other format I can record to? I guess this applies to any PC music recording package but I use Cubase on Windows.

Also if I want to play the tracks to friends with high quality should i give them the wave files or can I convert to MP3 with no quality loss?

Thanks,
AM.

Keep them as wav files. MP3 always degrades to some extent.
