Wayne, Monkey's is a lossless compression method. you simply convert your ape to wav without loosing quality and then use your favourite mp3 encoder.

Dear mattie:

In my previous message 153891 I indicated that I bought a copy of Switch Plus.

When I add any ape file and try to convert it I get an error message that says "Cannot open the file. This means that either the file format is not supported by this program or that a required codec bor plugin is not installed."

What should I try now?

Please reply.

I really appreciate your help!

This software you bought doesnn't support Monkey's Audio at all.

besides the codec you also need a converter that supports *.ape files.

Dear mattie:

There must be something I am missing. I bought a copy of Audio Converter which does support .ape files and when I try to load an .ape file I get the error message "Unable to add file. The following file does not contain recognizable audio."

I am running out of money buying programs that don't work.

Is there a program that you know for a fact will support .ape files?

If there is please let me know what it is.

Thanks a bunch for the help!
