OK, I hate writing these damned read me files, so let's get it over with. Basically, this is a program that will read in a file and extract all data from the data fork and attempt to convert it to a sound. If you decide it will be cute to open a 2 meg non sound file then you may have fun listening to the damn noise. (It will be painful, and you can't abort it unless you have the ASC (Apple Sound Chip.)
Down to business, unlike SoundExtractor, my program runs on machines without the ASC. (Machines like the SE and Plus.) System 7 is required, however. I don't think the stereo function works, so if I ever find a stereo VOC / WAV file then I will test it out. Please let me know if it works or not.
To use DataSnd, just open a file. When you get a box asking for a sampling rate, just try them all until one works. On the left side, press a button to play a sound at the said rate. The right side will prompt you to save the sound with the rate you choose. Custom rates may be inputted in the custom field and PLAY will play it, CHOOSE will prompt for save.
To play a MOD file, just select the appropriate item from the Utilities menu.
Sounds are saved in a Sys7 read double-clickable sound file.
