Unable to open aiff files

Post by Anglo »

I have been making soundfiles of LPs. I just tried to open several files recorded recently on Amadeus 1.5.5, I get the message: This type of compressed aiff file is not supported by your system.

I am using an older Mac: G4 MDD running OSX 10.4.11. I have not changed anything recently about the system. I was happily editing other files two days ago. What could be going on?

Experimentation reveals I can open track-length files, but not a full LP, (around 450 MB). Aaagh! And not files which I have opened before. As I said, I have made no changes to the OS.

Thanks for any help.

Well, Amadeus was doing things really slowly last night. Among the things I tried this morning was zapping the PRAM, and that (I think) seemed to do the trick. A system problem rather than an Amadeus problem. And it looks like everything is back to normal.
