I completely agree with you: BIAB could more easily attract a new (though perhaps small) user base of pro musicians and recording engineers. If it's technically possible, it would be really terrific if higher bit rate files were an option. You're right, 24-bit recording is the standard, and it seems likely PG Music would have used that for the master recordings, but we users don't know.

I think your explanations were fine! I tend to go slowly at first until I see what the appropriate level of knowledge is.
