I do believe .WAV is a microsoft proprietary format, but let's not split hairs :) We could go for a .OGG file if you want to keep things strictly open, but I doubt MS/InternetExplorer will be supporting that anytime soon.
yep, .ogg would be even better my safari, FF3 and opera all work fine playing an ogg file it looks like most modern browsers will play oggs test here -> http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/listen.html being uncompressed, wav could be a bad format for network performance, i assume/hope the wavs are cached locally by the broswer, ?! supported, compressed and FOSS makes ogg the perfect choice for me Mason.
