.wav is a standard pcm file, the -cd specifying the sampling rate, stereo, endianess, and other basic sampling parameters. On a linux box it is uncompressed. The format is open. On a doze box a.wav file can contain a compressed file (though usually not) and could mangle your music in weird ways. Once you have a "linux" wav file you can use ogg or flac (preferable). Dont use mp3 - it' proly the worst format. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
