The consensus for the method to use to convert Mac sound files to NeXT sound files is the program, mac2snd. I found this on the Purdue archive under the 1.0-release/source directory. It compiled and ran fine at 2.1. This program can handle 11 and 22 kHz Mac files. We also had an interest in recording new files on the NeXT and playing them on the Mac, so we wrote a short conversion program to do it. I can provide it to any one interested. One limitation is that the NeXT always records at 8012 Hz Mulaw and you have to convert to linear to run our conversion. We couldn't change the recording frequency or convert the frequency using sndconvert. Can anyone point out what we don't know? When we try sndconvert from 8kHz, Mulaw, to,say, 22kHz, 16 bit linear, sndconvert chokes on the frequency conversion even though documentation says it should work. Thanks again to all respondents.
