Lost Ability to Export to AIFF?!

I updated to the latest version of GarageBand 9 5.1 and found the check box for not compressing the file is gone!! How do I output my finished song to uncompressed AIFF?

2.8 8-Core MacPro, Mac OS X (10.5.4), 2gb RAM

There isn't a checkbox for not compressing the audio - there is a checkbox for compressing it which you have to uncheck!

Schneb (good to see you).

Its under the "Share" menu in GB "Export song to disc" you'll find the checkbox there.

If you choose export to iTunes you have to actually check the box for compression.

I found the issue!!

If your GarageBand file is set to "Podcast", there +IS NO+ radio button to turn off compression. I wanted an AIFF file because I was creating a new Outro for my Podcasts. So if I just change the file to a "Song" file, it will provide the ability to export to AIFF. Podcast will not.

Thanks for everyone's help. Knowing it was there somewhere helped me to continue searching for the answer.

Ah! You did say "song" not "podcast" in your O.P.
