Georgie,

flac *is* wav - but compressed.

When the squeezebox plays a .wav file it extracts the pcm data from the
file and decodes it.

When the squeezebox plays a .flac file, it extracts the pcm data from
the file and decodes it.

In both cases, *exactly* the same bits are used to generate audio.

You're really making life difficult for yourself by trying to use .wav
files:

 - they're bigger than flac
 - tag support is extremely limited
 - they have no internal checksums to verify the pcm stream.

At the end of the day, it's up to you how to store your music, but I
suspect many folk on these forums will be looking at what you're doing
and thinking "huh? .wav?"

R.
