The reason I choose .wav, despite the huge files this will give, is that
wave files are the most pure (well, there are better formats, but
wave/.wav is the most common), much more so than MP3 files, where in the
process of compression a lot of valuable data is lost. If I receive an
MP3 and I have to work on it to remove noise and such, it's much, much
harder than when I receive a wave file.

In short: I get the best results with wave files, so please send those,
if you can. If you can't, MP3 will do.

regards,
Henry
