[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 681650, member: 56231"] You're absolutely right on both counts. But .aiff is not compressed - right? It's what Toast uses when burning audio to a CD for playing on a CD player. Here's a test run: 1. Sound file (crowd laugh) .wav, 312 Kb 3. Same sound file .aiff, 312 Kb 4. Same sound file .mp3, 116 Kb 2. Same sound file .aac, 96 Kb The quality of the sound was not much different in any of the replays, except that the top two formats had a great deal more audible hiss (I used Mac audio out to amplifier to quality speakers).
