Limited File Format Support

• Wave Repair was first written when 24-bit/96kHz was unavailable to the general consumer, and was structured to operate very efficiently on 16-bit files. To support 24-bit would require extensive re-writing. Since 16-bit is more than adequate to capture the signal from even the finest vinyl replay system, I see no reason to embark on such a re-write at this stage.

• Wave Repair is a tool to help restore vinyl records. This is best achieved in raw WAV format. Once the restoration is complete, audio format CDs should be written from the WAV files; MP3 has no part to play in this process. Of course, you may wish to encode the final results into MP3, but since I have little personal interest in it, I have not included facilities to interface with MP3 encoders.
