- ConvertMachine 1.0.3
-
- This release fixes a slow memory leak in version 1.0.2. Significant
- improvements are currently being built into version 1.1; and thanks
- for the useful feedback and suggestions.
-
- This is the first release of ConvertMachine. It is a fat binary
- meaning it runs on 68K machines and native on PPC machines.
- It is released as $10 Shareware and registering and payment
- can be made using email through Kagi Shareware. Different
- fees apply for company and site licenses; see the Register
- application. Payment of the fee will cover all versions up to
- version 1.9 (some distant time in the future).
-
- It is mostly a batch processing utility to convert sound format files
- to a desired type. This means it performs one or more of the
- following without user interaction: decompression, resampling
- (sample rate conversion), mixing (stereo to mono) and compression.
-
- You don't need to worry about what format the file is in; all you
- specify is the desired output format.
-
- Finder Sound files (sfil), AIFF files, WAVE files, AU Mu-law and linear
- and QuickTime Audio (Movies) can be freely converted.
-
- Manually you can import off Audio CDs into any of the above formats.
-
- You can save your popular Settings under as a menu item or as a
- separate Settings file. The common web formats are flagged and
- ready to use as defaults, such as audio/basic mono 8kHz mu-law.
-
- After conversion files can be automatically sent to SoundMachine
- for playing.
-
- It needs QuickTime 2.1 and Apple's Sound Manager 3.1 or later.
- If you have installed System 7.5.3 then, no worries, you have these.
- If you want to get these or later extensions I have some convenient
- ftp and other links on my Web pages.
-
- Help: Use balloon help.
-
- Report any bugs to rod@kagi.com; I will definitely read each email but
- responding to them may not be practical.
