In the OSX Finder they preview with a "Play Sound" button and play OK, but they won't import into iTunes and they won't open in Quicktime Player.<br> <br> Searching in Apple discussions or Apple support draws a blank. post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.44777 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 02:02:08 -0800 TiredStarling mac os9 audio convert http://ask.metafilter.com/44777/In-with-the-old#685706 <a href="http://www.dekorte.com/projects/shareware/SoundConverter/">This program</a> says it'll do it.<br> <br> Or at least, it lists 'snd' as one of its input formats, which is what OS 9 system sounds should be. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.44777-685706 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 05:10:53 -0800 AmbroseChapel http://ask.metafilter.com/44777/In-with-the-old#685707 You could try <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18047">SoundCoverter</a> - says it supports snd files, which I think are mac os 7 sound files. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.44777-685707 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 05:13:20 -0800 athenian http://ask.metafilter.com/44777/In-with-the-old#685812 <a href="http://waveformsoftware.com/SoX_Wrap/soxwrap.htm">SoX_Wrap</a> claims to do it. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.44777-685812 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 09:21:23 -0800 dmo
