You're right about that. I guess that's why burning packages can so
readily use them. I'm not sure about sampling rates for them, though.
I thought about doing some sound clips for use on a recent CD anthology,
but abandoned the idea when I discovered Sound Recorder could only do
mono. Nonetheless, working on that project showed me how easy it would
be to add WAV files, a lesson I will one day apply.

Ted,
I know you're correct about the sampling rate. I thought the file type
of a
commercial CD music track was .wav, not what you give below, which
sounds
more like a standard than a file type. However, assuming you're more
knowledgeable than I am in this area, please reconsider my question, in
any
case. so far as I was aware , .wav is certainly what I believe they call
a
"lossless" file type for music recording, completely or nearly
uncompressed.
And is not typically used for putting music on an IPod. Isn't this much
correct? In other words, please respond to the question at the heart of
my
inquiry. Are people saying "wav when they really mean "wma, which sounds
more normal, paired with .mp3, as I explained? Both being
high-compression
file types?
Thanks.
hcih Which is, so far .

The technique used for commercial audio CD's is PCM--pulse code
modulation. I believe Sonic (and probably others) can directly import
and convert WAV files for use on a CD anthology (I think even humble
Sound recorder can as well), but imagine there's some conversion
involved. The de facto CD standard is 16 bits at a sampling rate of
44.1kHz.

I'm grateful for everyone who's responded to my belated question about
Text
Aloud, and I confess I haven't yet had time to go to this nextup site to
read all the particulars. But meantime, I've been noticing something in
the
explanations about Text Aloud that puzzles me.
Everyone is in agreement in saying that the program enables you to
convert
text files into audio format-- presumably for putting on a mobile device
like an IPod, yes?-- and they all mention two audio formats as available
alternatives. But some people say those two alternataives are .mp3 and
.wma
(windows media audio), which sounds pretty normal in this context,
because
both involve a great deal of compression, so that encoded files are
space-saving on the mobile device. But below, and in other posts lately,
some are saying that the second format is *.wav,* which is a big
difference,
although it, too, begins with a w, if that's maybe the source of some
confusion. A .wav file is the full-size audio format file type that is
what's used to produce a commercial music CD, and this isn't a format
often
used for packing mobile devices with music or recorded speech.
But maybe I'm missing something? If this isn't being said by mistake,
please
say. Thanks. Always interested to learn.

The cost is $30.
Yes, it works well with Jaws.
