Yes, I have SoundApp (great prgm eh?) and I did convert to system sound just now I read your post. SoundApp first said the track was too big to convert, so I edited a smaller bit in QT and then got SoundApp to convert this bit to system sound. Plays fine but I am not sure what I need to set the sound control panel parameters to record an alert from it. The obvious settings do not work. For a start, unless I burn this to CD and play a CD and try what i tried before (but this time in a format it may recognise) it is hard to jiggle things: playing the sound file from the desktop for example prevents the sound control panel box (with "record") from being active until the sound file finishes playing by which it is too late... Let's see now....Maybe I can just put the sound directly into the collection of alert sounds. No need to record. Do all that in QT and SoundApp. Now, where are these alerts kept... no, they don't show up in Sherlock (I searched for Glass and Logjam and Simple Beep)... Maybe Charlie is dead right and it is really only for the microphone... David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
