Message-ID: <9308240758.aa06705@SMOKE.BRL.MIL> 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 Fred S.

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...

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... ------------------------------ End of Ultrasound Daily Digest V5 #24 *************************************
