Re: [IRCA] Digitalizing DX cassettes

[Brett Saylor <bds2@xxxxxxx>]

I agree with Russ; apart from the size, I find working with MP3  
format files no different than editing the original WAV format. They  
sound identical and, using most editing tools, you can trim/process  
the audio the same with either format. (I use Cool Edit, Audacity and  
Total Recorder for my editing and recording).
