Thanks. I shouldn't have raised the format question here, but since I
did, let me clarify. I am recording voice on an Olympus DS330 (excellent
device) and it uses a proprietary compact format. But they have their
own software to handle the conversion to WAV
Can you refer me to some discussion about the details of the data image
that is used when burning WAV files (so I can play them on an ordinary
CD player). I'm stunned at how big the size of the file becomes. What is
a 123MB WAV file on disk (about 1 1/2 hours of recording) will not fit
on a 700MB CD
