For CDG imported directly from CDs Hoster uses WMA format to compress the file and there is negligible loss from that format which is why they chose it for their primary format.

mm, well, just to be clear, .wma is a lossy audio format. perhaps not quite as much as mp3. for quality, ogg vorbis would seem to me to be the best lossy format, so i am kind of surprised that it wasn't the one selected by the good folks at mtu. flac would be a great choice for a lossless codec, but the file sizes would be around 3-4x what they are with the aforementioned lossy ones.
