WAVs are easier to deal with on an Apple II, as you don't have to deal with
extracting them from resource forks.  There's a fairly nice utility called
sox that you can build under Linux, *BSD (maybe this includes MacOS X now),
Win32, DOS, etc. that will take a WAV (or many other formats) and convert to
raw 11.025-kHz unsigned 8-bit mono, which is what SoftDAC and similar 8-bit
Apple II audio players expect.  Back when I was using SoftDAC on a somewhat
regular basis (read: before upgrading to a IIGS), I used sox all the time
for that purpose.  I still use it today for other audio-editing purposes,
such as slight rate changes to make audio length match video length...it's
faster and easier than most of the WIMP sound-editing tools I've run across.
