-
- It is mostly a batch processing utility to convert sound format files
- to a desired type. This means it performs one or more of the
- following without user interaction: decompression, resampling
- (sample rate conversion), mixing (stereo to mono) and compression.
-
- You don't need to worry about what format the file is in; all you
- specify is the desired output format.
-
- Finder Sound files (sfil), AIFF files, WAVE files, AU Mu-law and linear,
- QuickTime Audio (Movies) and Sound Designer II files can be freely
- converted.
-
- You can save your popular Settings under as a menu item or as a
- separate Settings file. The common web formats are flagged and
- ready to use as defaults, such as audio/basic mono 8kHz mu-law.
-
- After conversion files can be automatically sent to SoundMachine
- for playing.
-
- It needs at least QuickTime 2.1 and Apple's Sound Manager 3.1 or later.
- If you have installed System 7.5.3 then, no worries, you have these.
- If you want to get these or later extensions visit Apple's web site
- (grab QuickTime 2.5 which includes Sound Manager 3.2.1).
-
- Help: Use balloon help when running the application.
-
- Report any bugs to rod@kagi.com; I will definitely read each email but
- responding to them may not be practical.
