Yes... very true. I don't find a quality issue myself. I have been 

storing my audio files as MP3s for quite a while... got lots of CDs 

pressed with them in that format allready... even use them to just have 

music going in the office. It would seem logical for Flash to allow the 

use of MP3 files as easily as AIFF or WAVs tho. Of course, for those who 

work as you mention... keeping the quality extra high with AIFF and WAV 

files, it makes sense for those to be importable. Since in what I am 

doing right now the audio files end up getting put out to the project as 

MP3/16 files anyway... the quality gets dropped to allow for faster 

download.


Thanks,

Robert
