A small note to add. I have observed .oma files losing expandability
to .wav when the SS's file hierarchy is only slightly altered. This
is supposed to not be the case with v3.4 and above but I've only
tested it a few times and I'd be cautious about relying on it.  I'd
rather be able to re-import the exact same .wav file and dedicate the
extra storage space.  I'm definitely ready for 20-40GB sized disks,
but I'm content with 4.3GB's of a lasting variety in the interim. Rob
