[Dixielandjazz] Re: SoundConverter (was: Roy Eldridge)

[Dan Augustine]

Bill and DJML--
     Here's how to convert almost any sound-format to almost any other 
sound-format (once you get the original sound into your computer): 
get SoundConverter by Steve DeKorte at: 
http://www.dekorte.com/software/osx/SoundConverter/ .  "It is free 
for files under 500K and $10 for license. Note that not all wav and 
wma encodings are supported."
     I've been using it on my Mac for a couple of years, and it works great.

     Dan
