That's a handy format as it represents CD standard - you can make such a file into to Audio-CD without re-converting (which even if not lossy may always be a source of problems).

AIFF is the Mac equivalent of WAV; no difference in either quality or size between the two.

Try if you can install the FLAC encoder/decoder to your system. There are also plugins for several types of software (under WinXP at least, both Nero and CoolEdit/Audition can be made to support it). FLAC files carry *all* the information of the original WAV but take only about half the harddisk space (lossless compression).
