Holy crap... I took a closer look at your initial comment and I must
apologize.  I assumed you were talking about a **work copies**... Not your
archive!

BWF is the standard for audio archives.  You should not even consider

Keep your sys admin out of your archiving business - he doesn't seem to know
much about it.
