Glossary

Audio File Formats
There are numerous audio file formats for storing audio on a computer.
 * WAV format is widely used on Windows and is needed for creating an audio CD.
 * AIFF is widely used on Apple's operating systems.
 * Compressed formats are used on portable music players.

ToDo
 * Description of FFmpeg formats (AC3, AMR NB)
 * As we have now decided not to have separate pages for the different formats (only separate pages for format export options), we need to rethink where these Glossary entries link to - best left until we decide if we have an appendix containing details of "audio file formats" - Gale
 * Ed 13 Nov 2009 consider adding MP4 (aka M4A) formats which are also supported (see the wikipedia article)
