It's an excellent format and can be sonically better than MP3 in
addition to the ethical/commercial advantages of being patent/royalty
free.

As for whether it's compatible with Jaws, I'm nt a jaws user but I
guess it boils down to a) will Jaws play it (if it plays audio files)
or b) whether the player you use interferes with Jaws (unlikely as
plugins are availble for many media players that also play MP3s).
Hopefully others can give a view based on experience?
