Before I purchase ms pinky, I have 3 questions.

1) is there a complete list of supported audio file formats? In specific, will BinkyToy let you manipulate .flac files?

2) Are any audio codecs really processor intensive to play back? Or with a core2duo cpu, does it just not matter?

3) Do audio files need to be pre-analyzed in any way before you play them in BinkyToy?

thnx

Supported formats are .wav, .aiff, and .mp3 only. No .flac. Sorry

Certainly some codecs are much more intensive than others. But with a newer model core2duo mac, they can pretty much all be decoded in real-time.

No pre-analysis is necessary for playback. But if you want to see the waveform displayed, then the first time you open the file it will take a couple of seconds to calculate and display the waveform. But once it has done that, the next time you open that file it will display waveform instantly. Also-- even while it is calculating the waveform, you can still play the file without interruption.
