I was putting together a website with some music examples. mp3 files
are fine but they seem to open in 'quick time' audio, replacing the
browser page with a new page. They also have a short glitch in the
beginning of the music piece.

I found that .m4a (acc) files seem to open with a seperate 'real
audio' player, without losing the main page. The files also seem to be
a little smaller.

Anyone have experience or opinions on the best files to use to
represent music on website. What is the 'standard'.

Also winamp has a free player that will 'rip' CDs to m4a files .....
(look in preferences for m4a and destination)
