 Have you tried gramofile?

It's looks pretty good, especially for removing ticks and scratches,
but whisperI did the recording on a Mac that already had Audacity
installed/whisper then copied the WAVE files onto a Debian box for
burning and mp3-encoding.

 If your disks scratch, then you may lose information; also take into
 consideration the expected life of your media.

I think backup copies are the solution then.


 Is there any loss of information in burning the files to CD?

 I don't believe so.

In that case I don't think there's much benefit to keeping the WAVE
files on the hard drive.


 If you want to keep the wav files around, you'll almost certainly want
 to compress them; if you want to keep them accessible for playing, I
 suggest flac, but if not you may want to consider rzip instead of gzip
 or bzip2.

I'd never heard of rzip until you mentioned it, but (using the default
compression for all three commands) there isn't a lot of difference in
the file size.

  25579480  acid-boys-t1.wav
  24329347  acid-boys-t1.wav.gz
  23326313  acid-boys-t1.wav.rz
  23306444  acid-boys-t1.wav.bz2


Thanks for the information.

Is there any reason to keep the WAV files themselves backed up?
