Yep, PCM 44100 KHZ 16 bit is fine for music, that's what CDs are anyways. Even wma lossless would be fine but only WMP can make it. That's why I wish Olympus would dump regular old WMA, and get WMA Losless on their recorders. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org

In terms of audio quality, pcm of course. Next would be lossless compression like flac and monkey's audio. For voice, I suppose you could even use lossy formats like mp3 and ogg. - Original Message - From: Sunshine sunsh...@abe.midco.net To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday,
