It sounds like the studio is using an older Mac system or an older
version of Toast (or whatever) that makes you choose between HFS or
ISO9660 CD formats. The current version of Toast defaults to "Mac/PC
Hybrid" that just about any computer can read. If you can't get them
to burn you a new disc, then you need to download a shareware utility
for opening HFS disks on the Windows platform. I have such a program
on my windoze machine, but don't recall exactly what it's called. Go
to www.tucows.com and look around, you'll find several.

Hi there. A studio recently transferred some recordings for me to edit on
my home system. We had asked to have everything in WAV format, but didn't
specify we were using Windows. They were transferred to CDs from a MAC Pro
Tools system, but the CDs don't show any files and nothing will come up when
trying to upload the files to my system. The CDs do show the megabytes that
are taken up on the discs, so the information is obviously there, but it's
not compatible.

Is there a simple way to convert what is there to be accessed by Windows
software (Cool Edit Pro, er... Adobe Audition)? Is a conversion program
needed? The studio will do it again if necessary, but I'd rather save some
time and hassle if possible. And if they do have to transfer the files
again, is there a step they need to take to make sure the WAVs will be
compatible with Windows? They weren't sure, either.

Thanks much,
EE
