wav files - how much bits

Just a simple question:
For uploading wav files, is 16bit nessescary or also 24bit accepted?
Do P5 automaticly convert the audio for the buyer?

I've been uploading 24-bit audio at 48khz (which tends to be the audio for video standard) and seen a healthy amount of sales. I doubt buyers would be turned off from 24-bit, as they can always down-convert if necessary. I don't think P5 converts automatically, but if you are so inclined, you may upload the same sound effect or music track at different specs and make note of it in the upload details and the curators will combine the files so they appear on the same page together.

That's cool, so i don't have to convert my Zoom H2 records. I only wasn't sure because standart media players don't play 24 bit records.
