Greetings everyone.
Is it a "sound" idea to convert .wav files into .zip files in order to conserve space on the hard drive or for backup data cd's? I just wonder if there will be any change to the integrity of the original data when converting back to .wav files. If anyone has tried this, or has an opinion as to this idea's pro's, con's, and practicality, I would be much obliged.
In addition, may I give a hearty THANK YOU to everyone who participates in this information exchange forum. I have been reading these posts for some time now, and I am very grateful -- to you all -- for sharing your knowledge, experience, ideas, insights, and speculations about home recording procedures.
Since this is my first post, please forgive me if this topic has previously been covered. I look forward to your response(s).
