file formats

<earshot> uses the QuickTime library to load and play sounds and supports most popular sound formats except for Real Audio. Files with the following suffixs will be loaded into the spike:

wav, aif, aiff, aifc, mov, au, mid, mp3, swa, mpg, mpeg, snd

As <earshot> uses whatever version of QuickTime you have (except QuickTime 6:- <earshot> currently does not work with this version), your mileage may vary.

Note that <earshot> will load movies as well and use only the sound track in your compositions. A version of <earshot> currently in development shows the video track as well (as well as QT streams, JPGs, GIFs and text files!).
