Im sure in a year or so I will be where everyone else it.

MTU is credited by Mix Magazine as being the "first in the world to ship a digital audio workstation (DAW) on a microcomputer." We were actually the first in the world to ship any DAW.

We sold to audiophiles with excellent hearing, and .wav files were the norm. Heck, MP3 wasn't even in general use then, and WMA from Microsoft didn't yet exist. There was no other format than pure samples without any compression.

I used to hear 22KHz frequencies, so our focus was absolutely the purest sound you could create, and we did it!

Today, most folks under 40 (maybe higher?) grew up with cruddy boom-boxes that destroyed the music. Thus, the CAN'T even hear the high frequencies and pure tones that the .wav format is able to deliver.

So, it's now a moot point what you are worrying about. I'm truly sorry I "jabbed" the MP3 and WMA compressors. You will probably already have MP3 songs in whatever compression ratio they were created with. For MP3's, a 160kb compression sounds to MOST people today, as good as a .wav. Your songs probably use 128kb, which ain't bad either. If they use 96kb, that's getting into a range where many users can hear the hissy damage done to the audio.

So, enjoy and don't worry about it unless you are going to turn into an audiophile!
