I haven't been able to convert Akai CDROMS with the EXS24. I re-installed the software and was able to convert part of an AKAI CDROM but not the whole disc. With Battery I am able to access and load all partitions of an Akai CDROM which saves the sounds to the computers HD as you load them. But not with the EXS24? What would be the logical steps to problem solve this. I have many akai CDROMs going unused because of this. Roman Pirie.
