I have to put my vote with the .wav format files. This is one of the
biggest things about the Net that makes me crazy.
Yeah, sure, I would like to have a Sparkstation sitting on my desk, and one
at home. But I don't even come close to that kind of money and neither do
most people. Joe & Sally Average are sitting at home probably using a x86
based Windows machine, perhaps a Mac. You could count on the fingers of two
Klingons' hands the number of people working on a Sparkstation in their
living room.
Yeah, you can use "Wham", or some other utilities to convert files. I work
with computers all day, I have four of them sitting right here in front of
me here at home. And these damn things are too hard to use. Couldn't we try
to make it easy just once?
Please, .wav format please.
