"… AudioMaster… do you have any experience/knowledge about that package?" Well, I can't say as how I'm enamoured with AudioMaster. The user interface is simple to comprehend, but it's so simple that it makes doing some things difficult, like small-scale editing of a digitized waveform. Some things which had been impossible before, like resampling, it makes a snap; other things which should be easy (and ARE easy with, say, the Perfect Sound editor) are nigh onto impossible. The package won't let you zoom in to the point that you can make out individual points on the waveform. There are bugs in the way the mark sliders are implemented. And so on. In summary, no one has written THE editor yet. But AudioMaster is a good try. Anyway, to the issue at hand: I haven't tried using AudioMaster for the port yet. I'm looking at other avenues just now, including a simple hack that you just use to filter the sample data. Any program that will load a DMCS file and saves IFF, however, should be able to do the transfer. Rick
