    DPI question

    oh boy... dpi isn't your concern... megapixel is... for professional print work generally 6MP+ basically an image like 2000x3000 etc.. just multiply the length by width and if it's close to 6 million (9 preferably) you're probably good enough... for CD sized things 3MP would even work... DPI...

    Is a wav file eternal? What is your digital archiving strategy?

    DVD+HDD+rotation+whatever replaces either of those yes wavs will still be around, it's an easially manipulated and replicated computer file... not a wax cylinder.
