J is right about the space taken up on a disk by MP3 files versus waves. However, the reason for using the wave file format is sound quality. If you want to save the files ultimately on a data disk of MP3's, or in the PTR1's case Daisy, there is no advantage this way. If what you want is an audio CD of the highest quality you can get from your old records, then use the wave format to record the tracks. Then make the audio CD from the wave files. Making an audio CD is not wave files in the sense that they are on a data disk and that they are much larger files. The audio CD is in regular audio format like any commercial music CD. The object here is so that you can play the audio CD in any regular CD player. If you want regular audio CD's, then use the highest quality and never mind the space. If you want to store them in MP3 format as compressed files on a data disk, then try MP3 128k.
Note that the PTR1 will not save MP3's to disk unless they are part of a Daisy project. Even though each track is an MP3 on the disk, there will also be the extra Daisy files which store the title, section markers, and so on. The only way I know of to get MP3 alone is to copy the MP3 files from your PlexTalk's PC card and use your computer to make an MP3 data disk with them. Assuming that each MP3 file is nice and neat and needs no editing, you can just save them onto disk as is and ignore the Daisy files.

I'm not completely positive about this, but .wav will result in huge files whereas MP3 will take these huge .wav files and compress them from some 30-40 megs to 4 megs. This means that the huge .wav files will take up lots of room on your CD. then again, you do have some 650 megs on the CD. ...Just a thought.
