We have had many discussions about this, notably about the file size and the way BIAB is shipped to Europe. I laughed when I read your post because the audiophile version takes almost 2 TB.

Yes, WMA is Windows only, and old. However, in my opinion a WMA file encoded at 128 sound as good as an MP3 encoded at 192.

You are quite correct there are other codec alternatives, and it could be helpful if the Mac and Windows versions used the same for the regular (not audiophile) versions.
