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 John, I need to do the same thing with my wife's record collection, and I'm not quite sure how to do it on my Quadra. I do know that iTunes will convert from/to AIFF/MP3/AAC, but that's only a viable solution if you also have a newer system. For myself, I just want to be able to import audio over the line inputs and save that as AIFF. I'll use iTunes to convert to AAC. Daniel -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Cheers, John Bias Peak would do the job of recording and encoding. Have no clue where you'd find a V.2 copy though, we had one here at the store I would've posted to you but I can't find it at the moment. hm, I'll be damned. There's a copy on ebay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/BIAS-PEAK-2-0-AUDIO-EDITOR-FOR-MAC_W0QQitemZ7345309932QQcategoryZ41786QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem The only problem is that is 2.0, and I'm unsure when MP3 support was added. It might not have been until 2.5. Maybe you could email the seller and ask if he has the docs so that he could check them.
