Obviously I'm being facetious.

Am always on troll watch. Fwiw, I think much of it is language barrier. I'm hoping that at least.

I will. If you're still in the Bay, you're welcome to try it out down here. I'd be happy to visit you as well if you're still about. I'm sure I wouldn't mind fiddling a few of your knobs, no homo.

Many OS have easy ways of seeing information in .wavs relative to .aiff (open in QT or iTunes is a drag) The AIFF file has identical quality but many people like .bwf "Broadcast wav" as well. It is a good standard as well as being high resolution.
