Why MP3 and M4A only

People ask why we do not take WAV or FLAC. The honest answer is bandwidth and compatibility. Every podcast app plays MP3; most play M4A. Lossless files are three to ten times larger and buy a listener nothing on a phone speaker.
So we take MP3 and M4A, up to 50 MB. For MP3 we read the duration out of the frame headers; for M4A you tell us the length. That is it.
