Haah,
Greg Maier asked about playing .au files. If you're running Windoze,
get a copy of the shareware program Goldwave. Or get sox7dos.zip from
epas. It will convert several sound formats, and I think you can use
it to change to a format play-whatsit understands. (It's too early for
me and my GUS is at home :-)
btw, underdog.au isn't a wonderful recording, but it is recognizable.
dsw, fferd

I'd like to echo this message and direct it to both MidiSoft and Howling
Dog. Charging big bucks (I consider $75 to be big bucks) for the "Pro"
version of your program when you've stripped out the more useful features
in the "free" version, isn't exactly a cool thing. I've seen a few
responses from Eric Bell saying basically, "Oh, you can't do that with
PowerChords, get PowerChords Pro [out real soon now] for $75." Or the
hacked up helpfile in Recording Session that lists options that don't
exist.
Either include full-featured versions of software that WORKS or don't
include anything. Getting shareware (wconvert.exe) or "stripped" programs
doesn't reflect well on anyone, especially Gravis...

I too had lots of problems with MRS, I stopped using it. Too bad,
cause it looks like a decent user interface. I'll be spending my
cash on PowerChords Pro in a few weeks.
My message to Midisoft is that I won't be purchasing their
"full blown" version based on my experience with the freebie version.
I think the demo version kind of backfired...
