Re: [CGUYS] Mount .sd2f Files Without Toast?

Sound Designer is a discontinued product, but the file format lives on. SD2F is part of Apple's CoreAudio API so it may be considered part of the Mac OS. Of course, Apple will someday decide to drop it. CoreAudio is based on the cross-platform OpenAL library (LGPL), but its maintainer has changed several times in recent years. So long term prospects don't look great. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Mount .Sd2f Files Without Toast?
I'd rip to FLAC. Toast 7 titanium will do it as will an open source program called max. http://sbooth.org/Max/ http://flac.sourceforge.net/index.html There is info about FLAC if you hadn't heard of it. The only issue you may have is Apple isn't supporting FLAC for some reason in iTunes. Mike On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 8:31 PM, Alvin Auerbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > What format would that be?

Re: [CGUYS] Mount .Sd2f Files Without Toast?
What format would that be? What program would that be? I forgot to mention that I use a Mac. BTW, somehow I mistyped the file extension. It's .Sd2f, not sd2f. I corrected the subject line. Not sure, but I think that file extensions are case sensitive in some places, and not in others!? On Aug 7, 2008, at 9:12 PM, mike wrote: How many is 'many' ?

Re: [CGUYS] Mount .sd2f Files Without Toast?
How many is 'many' ? If it's not a whole lot, you may just want to re rip these cd's into a format that will be available in the future. Sorry I can't offer any info on mounting this particular format. It's always best to keep any data you want to back up in open formats.

[CGUYS] Mount .sd2f Files Without Toast?
Roxio's Toast creates a disk image of an audio CD in a format called Sound Designer II (.Sd2f), and I've used it to back up many of my CDs. I've been thinking (worrying): If ever Toast was discontinued, and a future version of Mac OS 10 "broke" the old Toast, is there anything else that will mount the image? I've searched and come up with some technical discussions that I don't understand, and the info that QuickTime will play the file, but I don't think that it will mount it. I haven't come up with anything that will mount it. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
