It works really well. I was just preparing to ask this FAQ when I saw your posting. Thanks for the pointer to sox. You are right about it working well though I've only converted au to WAV files. The documentation does not mention that it will convert to the latter but it worked a treat. Especially the volume switch the first au file that I converted was quiet but sox boosted it up to a useful level. Now to find some more sounds to associate with Windows system events! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------- Trevor Jenkins Radio: G6AJG 134 Frankland Rd, Croxley Green, Rickmansworth, WD3 3AU email: tfj@apusapus.demon.co.uk phone: +44 (0)923 776436
