Hello all, I just got my Mbox and have been playing with it all weekend. I plan to sit down this week with the manuals, but had a couple of basic questions. I'm sure I'll be posting more as I proceed!

Bouncing to harddrive - when saving as a .wav file the audio quality is terrible - I see in the user guide that it's says it will only save it at a quality of 6.5 and that you must use a "wma application" to convert it to a higher quality. What the heck is a wma application? Also, is there no way to hook this up so you can hear the playback (before bouncing it down) through the computer speakers (using soundblaster live card with good sub/speaker system), or are you limited to using headphones only? What about routing the spdif output on the Mbox to the spdif input on the soundcard?

Is there a book out there any one could recommend - I know there is tons of stuff here in the forum and in the user manuals, but wondered if there was a Mbox/LE "bible" that you might find helpful for a newbie.

Thanks in advance for your help!
