I'm about to buy tapedeck and it would really be useful to have an uncompressed format available, as pointed out by everyone above.

so, by supporting the developers, I hope they can include this feature that would make this a killer app. is that a deal, guys? :-)

cheers!

yep, i'd echo the above comments, i'm also an audio engineer who uses various high end tools such as Pro Tools & Wavelab. Tapedeck is a great simple recording program that can be used in conjunction with these other programs. It currently is suitable for voice recording, but high quality music recording needs a lossless format.
I suggest FLAC

I will buy TapeDeck the day it includes lossless audio. – jdueck, on August 24, 2008 05:30

I'm an audio production major at the Art Institute of Atlanta, as well as a recording engineer. I second what the first guy said. WAV support would really make this a tool that could be used by professional audio people. I'm already looking forward to using the lossy codecs to record class lectures on my macbook when I get it, but for song ideas, and even practice sessions, lossy won't cut it. you'd be suprised how many scratch recordings of guitar and vocal make it into the national release, because the first playthrough on that scratch disk had the most emotion. I don't have much to offer to inspire you to include WAV support, but if you're a beer drinker, I could promise you a box case of your brand!! – strangenotez, on August 23, 2008 12:27

Uncompressed formats are actually specified by the AES and other concerned organizations as the best log term storage option for digitized audio. I'm a professional recording engineer, and the only thing keeping me from buying TapeDeck is that it doesn't support uncompressed recording. Compression--even lossless--isn't as appealing today as it was years ago when online (hard disk) storage was so expensive.
