Hi!
This list has been a bit quite :-( Has everybody gone off and replaced
their Quadras with Minis and OSX :-)
In the continuing struggle to find useful tasks for old (but loved)
equipment, I have pressed one of my Quadra 950 into the job of
converting some of my LP music into digital form.
This Quadra (aka "FatBoy") is lucky. It's got a 5 drive carrier with
68pin drives hooked onto an Atto Express IV SCSI card. It's got 208Mb
of RAM and a Yamaha cd burner. Unfortunately I don't have a CD bezel so
it's blank at the moment. If anybody has one (probably from a WGS9150)
I'll love one. FatBoy is also running a PPC601 PDS card at 66MHz.
It also has a Digidesign Audiomedia II Nubus card and Sound designer II
software. This I have hooked up to my stereo system and I have
successfully recorded a LP sample. I have managed to burn this onto a
CD which is playable on a normal CD player :-)
My problem is I would like to convert music files to mp3 format so they
take up less space and are more compatible with modern equipment.
However, Sound designer doesn't cater to this (probably pre-dates mp3
:-). It can put them in AIFF format which allowed me to playback on
iTunes, but its not compressed.
So does anybody know of s/w that will either convert the raw files to
mp3 or other s/w that will work with the Audiomedia II card and produce
mp3 files?
It's not difficult to search the web for software - it's just difficult
to refine it so that you only get stuff of the right vintage.
Cheers,
John
