AIF and wav formats are exactly the non-lossy formats you want to save into for compatibility with other playback apps. Audacity's proprietary file format is a nuisance, a side effect of the programs' aspirations to be a real DAW. Get what you pay for, pay for what you get.
I missed a comma in that reply--yes, you're correct. [see: Eats, Shoots and Leaves, http://tinyurl.com/dhxk8g]
AIFF an early PCM codec on Macs, then Microsoft made WAV. Both are lossless containers for Raw PCM audio. How about FLAC? ALE? Can you hear a difference?
Which audio do apps you use? I replaced Macromedia SoundEdit with Audacity--it's all I need for now. Actually, one of its main problems is that it's easy for basics, but has a steep learning curve for the details. [must remember to save the keyboard and mouse bindings as separate file]
Do you have occasion to use lossy formats? Which codec?
