The base program is the same for both the audiophile and 'regular' versions. If you bought the audiophile version, you "could" technically update it with regular versions for awhile to save money. You would have a mix of older .wav and newer .wma files. They are stored together. If BIAB finds a .wav file, it uses it; otherwise it uses and uncompresses the .wma file.

Once you update to the audiophile version, all tracks would again have .wav files.
