These formats and Sun's .au too can use quite a few compression schemes, such as uLaw, MACE, ADPCM (is that compression or just encoding?) etc. etc. These are all lossy, though. I don't think there are ANY lossless compression algorithms for sound, unless some corporation or the RIAA is sitting on a patent -- GREAT SCOTT [EMAIL PROTECTED] weekdays || [EMAIL PROTECTED] weekends matt kane's brain - http://mkb.n3.net - http://www.everything2.com/?node=mkb --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
