RT> WC>> Todays kids demand instant random access not the time consuming
RT> WC>> sequential access we dealt with, LP's, 45's, 78's, 8 track (
RT> WC>> yuck), cassette, ( semi yuck) and reel - reel.

RT> RT> Yeah,  there's something to be said for random access all right.

RT>*.wav files to normal CD would be much better ...

 I overlooked that one. IF one has soemthing of any value it should be
 saved as a .wav file. It can always be converted to an .mp3 for casual
 use. BUT an .mp3 despite its wonder is quite a bit lower in Quanity and
 ONCE the quality is gone it is Gone Forver. A .wav is as close to
 the Origional as technologicaly possable.
I preach this constantly about Digital Photography. Take EVERYTHING at
the Highest resolution your camera is capable of. Later the Picture can
Always be reduced in resolution for special purposes. BUT the quality
can NEVER be really Increased. Once the opportunity for a picuture is
Gone it is Typicaly Gone frpoever.
