Use can use iTunes or QuickTime to find out what type of format your samples. Make sure to convert them using the following settings. In iTunes goto preferences, under the general tab, click on Important Settings button, Import using, select AIFF or WAV.

    MAN!! Love what ya’ll do. Your site and vids are on point, but could you do us w/ iphones a HUUUGGEEE favor?? Could you create a small Quicktime format for your podcast for streaming through Itunes? The format ya’ll have up takes a long time to load, and the youtube quality is really wack! I’m sure that not ya’lls fault though. Just thought I would request it. Thanks!
