.wav would be best, the best quality you can get.  And thanks, in advance; I keep missing you on MSN and in the chat room (my internet's being really weird, here, so it's my fault for sure). |

WAV? Yikes; that's a 40MB file we're talking...

FLAC would totally be an option if it were native to the programs we're using. Unfortunately, it's not, so we'd have to use a second program to convert them to FLAC on his side, and a third program to convert back to WAV on my side. I know WAV and FLAC are both lossless, but I don't believe conversion is lossless in the best situation.

I don't understand Dave. I have a LOT of flac files (maybe 400GB) and the main reason is that they can be converted back to original WAV easily and accurately. |

Conversion from FLAC to PCM WAV and vice versa is lossless indeed. We can't use FLAC-encoded files as ingame sounds / music at the moment as the codec is not supported by FIFE. It offers no real advantage on the other side though: ogg vorbis at 192kb/s is basically transparent = "lossless" to normal human ears (if you use a decent encoder implementation such as the latest AoTuV).
But we should store lossless version of all music / sound effects at the assets repository in case the need to edit these files later arises. For this purpose FLAC sounds like a good option.

Dave, I know you have other things to worry about right now, but I'm just curious on the status of this "remix." I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Unfortunately, it took a backburner to other music projects with earlier deadlines, which then took a backburner to ANOTHER project (which has been backburnered by my lack of sleep and motivation...)...
I feel pretty bad about it all, to be honest.

No problem Dave, in the end you have to do what pays the bills. Keep us updated about the progress please.
