... and don't forget the flac format (that is lossless). It saves
about 50% on file sizes and makes recording 24 bit samples not much
more expensive (in terms of storage/memory) than 16 bit samples.

The recent beta versions of audacity (1.3.x) work just fine with .flac
files, I find. And, it seems, VLC (free) and Winamp handle .flac files
flawlessly.

I now use the format as my standard for making copies/backups. In part
b because it is free/open and I have a text file of the source code
that will let me uncompress the files anytime in the future.


Happy New Year everyone!
