Hi,
   Are you aware that alac and flac plus other lossLESS compression types w=
ould significantly shorten the upload times for participants.

Is there any specific reason why .wav format is required?

Or should the call be more directed at indicating participants should not s=
ubmit pieces that are using lossy compression ?

BR
Mike.
