Re: Can I make a case for AIFF files in the Audio Torrent Forum?

.. about the same as the comparative size between a 24-bit 96kHz WAV file and a FLAC derived from it.

We don't allow WAV because they are too big. They must be FLAC'd. Some people can make use of both WAVs & AIFF files for burning to disc. Most can't and need the PCM audio data to have the WAV headers to work with their software.

What is your chief reason for wanting to distribute PCM audio data with AIFF headers instead of WAV headers, when more people can make use of the WAV format?
