Just for the purposes of being succinct--MAC can run .wav files just as easily as any other kind of music file. No problem, no difference.   You just need a player, such as Quicktime--for earlier versions, back to OS 7.0, there is a great freeware player/converter program called SoundApp, available here: SoundApp . Nice thing about this program is that you can mix file types, including midi's, in the play list.


Good thing about wav files, it is easy to make them whatever size you want them to be. I've got some files of old 45's that are less that a meg--not necessarily the fattest sound around, but very listenable, and very helpful if you want to put a lot of files on your website, but don't have a lot of space for them on your server--
