Thanks for that Jim
It works fine on that one.

For Mac users it's a better program than MacFlac and CarbonShorten as it does the job of both in one.

It might be MKW that is the problem for Mac's. I've never tried to use them, never come across any really, most stuff comes in Flac or Shn format.

Have you tried it? I might have been mixing up ape and mkw or whatever that fourth format is called. Try it on this little one.

No Problem for Mac's

 

Get a program called ' xACT'  (x Audio Compression Tool)

   It works a treat for FLAC SHN and APE 

 
 

Product Description:

xACT stands for X Audio Compression Toolkit. It is a GUI based front end (written in AppleScript Studio) for the unix applications Shorten (3.5.1), shntool (2.0.3), monkey's audio compressor (3.99),flac (1.1.1) and cdda2wav 2.01a32(with paranoia support). It also uses a modified md5sum (modified from 2.1 textutils) and sox (12.17.7). It does the basic commands of these applications and adds a few features to speed up productivity in creation of etree.org standard filesets.

 

Makes it's own sauce.

And it's Free!

Okay, so we have something new to contend with...

Where does one find a free download of this APE shit? (no pun intended - come to think of it, that's pretty funny, so yeah pun intended) I assume it's out there for free somewhere?

You should fill us in on this John. I may be a day or two slow, but I'm not living under a rock and I have never heard of this format until just now...

Tell us what's up wi'dat!

Actually the de compress software you use is called Monkeys Audio!

Permanent Damage (GTO's, LP, Straight STS 1059, December 8, 1969)

 

     Frank Zappa - Producer
     Lowell George - Producer
     Sparky (Sparkie Parker) - Composer
     David Jones - Composer

 

     Frank Zappa is widely believed to have created the GTOs as an experiment, like a joke band. They played live with  the Mothers of Invention, and      

     GTO stood for lots of things, including: Girls Together Outrageously,
     GirlsTogether Occasionally, Girls Together Only, and Girls Together Often.

 

     Their only album is 'Permanent Damage,' released in 1969, and later
     reissued in 1989.
