Hi guys:

I was over at alt.binaries.rock.lossless.rock and downloaded Pink
Floyd's The Wall.

When I decoded the rars I got:

Pkfd_tw1 (ape).sfv
Pkfd_tw1 (wav).sfv
Pkfd_tw1.ape
Pkfd_tw1.cue

I am guessing the .sfv files are just RAR verifiers.

I turned the .ape file into an aiff. I could turn it into a .wav.

But how do you break this into the individual songs? When I load Toast
with the .cue file it wants a .bin file to match.

I can't find any app that changes .ape to .bin for the MacIntosh. I am
guessing that in PeeCee land .bin is not a stuffit doc.

Any Ideas?

1) The .bin extension is generally used for files with binary content.
There is no single format/structure of file content tied to that type.

2) This question sounds as if you're asking for help gaining access to
intellectual property to which you do not have a license. This is not
the right place for that, given that a substantial number of people here
make a living from the sale of such licenses. So if that _is_ what
you're doing, take it somewhere else.

I bought the record years ago, don't quite understand the concept that
I have to pay the licensing fee a second time to play it on my iPod. I
could take the time to rip the vinyl. Or I could go to the public
library or a friend and get the disk to rip. Or I could get the music
off the internet.

Either way I have paid for the music. Tell me where the problem is?

Who pays for what he uses.

Chill. Note that I said it "sounded as if" you were asking for help in
piracy and _if_ that was the case you should seek help elsewhere. I
never asserted that this was absolutely the situation. If you've got the
vinyl (or any other prerecorded format) I don't think you're doing
anything wrong.

On the other hand, the RIAA doesn't agree with us. They have the
long-held opinion that when you purchased your license, you purchased it
for vinyl delivery, with all the characteristics that implies. I can
even almost see their point of view. Almost.

Back from the land of make-believe, I'd recommend borrowing a CD. That
way you can control the rip exactly as you want quickly and easily.
