It depends. For just listening to music during a construction day, we just use MP3's. However, for a show we use full quality CD's (or comparable AIFF's).

For personal use I use my iPod, which imports as AAC (yay apple iTunes!)

For shows I use either mini-disk or MP3 off iTunes.

However, for talent shows or things like that when people hand me CD's right before, I just pop in the CD to the 5 disk changer in the booth.

Personally (in order): MP3s (ipod and itunes), CDs, and occasionally Vinyl when I want the real deal.

Tech: CDs, often MP3s converted to CDs. Authoring done in iTunes (when I'm doing it), Musicmatch (when the other sound guy does it).
