nope. WAV's have headers. So headerless wouldn't be it. Although I think a .wav is just a fairly simple header tacked on to that raw PCM data; it's possible to generate a .wav header. Also, I think some cd-burning software (quite likely if it's linux :) can burn WAV or PCM or some other format. WAV should always work, tho. Short answer: if -w works, go with it. :) HTH, Mike McGuire
