I like FLAC too and I don't like mp3, but for audio production I guess 'WAV Float 32-bit' could be the best choice. FLAC is lossless, but there's the need to transfrom data from and to FLAC, so I guess it might be better for a project to chose 'WAV Float 32-bit' directly, even if the original CD WAV is 'Signet 16-bit'. Perhaps the Float 32-bit for the production is better to avoid rounding errors or stuff like this, while the digital data is processed by several apps. *?* -Ralf -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
