I strongly suggest that you invest in a copy of the IASA Guidelines on the 
Production and Preservation of Digital Audio Objects (TC-04). We sell this 
for $54 postpaid to US addresses and $57 postpaid to foreign addresses. It 
will answer many questions for you, and might save you a considerable 
amount of time.
