Hi guys,
I think Mac OS X and Cocoa really suck when it comes to sounds.
NSSound does not seem to support old file labeled as "System Sound"
files by the Finder.
So I decided to convert my sound to AIFF, so that it could be read by
NSSound. No luck with my sounds, even with the highest AIFF quality
settings, I lose the sounds' quality to the point where you can't even
tell the two sounds are supposed to sound the same.
Now I've searched the archives and I noticed some users have the same
problems.. I just want to know what's the "status" on this?
I've been given old snd files that used to work in a RB app (BTW
RealBasic can read them) and I can't use them in my Cocoa app, which is
basically a "better OS X port" of that OS 9 app.
My guess is that if the Finder can read it just fine, I guess I can do
so too in my app. I also guess it has something to do with calling
QuickTIme. Can anyone show me? :)
Also, my favourite Sound application, "SoundApp PPC" does not work on
OS X, too bad I've deleted classic.
*sigh*
