I think aif's and wav's take up more memory on a data CD - does this mean they are being compressed or losing something when made into audio CD's?

It depends on the bit rate actually.
CD's will always be 16 bit files Aiffs and Wavs can be anything from 8 bit upwards (the higher the bigger) logic normally records in 24 bit for example. So - yeah - sometimes files on CD will be smaller ... But only so's your dog could hear. -------------------- Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 / 2 x 19" Formac Monitors / Hammerfall Digi 9652 / Mackie d8b / 2.5 gig RAM
