[78-L] Sound remaster an restoration/where to start

[P G C]

Thanks again, I have a new query then:

Which would be the good parameters of such not lossy format flat file?
(I only have used Windows PCM Format [I think 16 bits (may be 24) 44100 Stereo]
Are AIFF o FLAC better foth this porpouse? (not sure if i can have these)


                          '''
                         (0 0)

Logically, the answer is "yes".

Any significant audio archiving - even if only for one's personal access 
- should be in a lossless format. Whether WAV, AIFF, APE, FLAC or 
something else depends on individual tradeoffs.

For ease of access and convenience, one may also want one or more lossy 
formats such as MP3.

Example: All of Caruso's recordings may be published on ten discs in 
CD-DA with one implicit index; or on a single CD-ROM with indexes of 
various sorts in serviceable MP3. They serve different purposes such 
that neither format would be desirable for the other function.
