As I recall, wav is a windows proprietary format, so you will not find any
commercial products using it.
As for the 'cut-down' part, I take that as a put down of the compression
technology.

All audio equipment is a matter of compromise, of sound quality to cost. It
is often said that any sound system can be improved by adding better
speakers. And, most of us do not have $5,000 to spend on a sound system. So,
right off we ordinary people are getting less sound quality that might be
available.
Next is the matter of volume - to get full sound quality, it must be played
fairly loud. This is ok for me, I live on 5 acres and my nearest neighbor is
over 300 feet away. But this does not work for city dwellers.
Next is the room
And so on
Depending on who you ask, 128k is either cd quality or near cd quality. So,
we can go to 256k sampling, and use 2 megs per minute of recording.
I would challenge you or anyone else to find a 'significant' difference
between the original cd and a 256k mp3 using better quality consumer grade
sound equipment, at ordinary listening volume. Remember that everyday
listening is totally removed from being a sound system critic or evaluator

in simple terms - try it, you might like it (sam i am)
