I tried it. One thing you have to make sure is to turn off the monkey sound when compression is complete! I noticed on a short 36 MB song it saved about 50% space, and each of the five or six compression levels was nearly the same size.

Adobe Audition 1.5 will not read an .ape file. I'll try it a few more places.
