But easy using one of the many file conversion programs to convert the Wave files to smaller compressed file format.

If you are creating an audio CD then I think you need the wav format as you do each one.
The end goal is to play the files using Audacity so it can be used to do such conversions if a compressed format is wanted.

One issue might be how long this is going to take, when I had my colleciton of Kodachrome slides digitised I paid my son-in-law to do the scanning.
