I burned my cd with all of my songs done in Logic Windows version for the past 5 years. Now I got my Mac G4 and trying to load these songs into that program and the mac can't see them, only the midi files. what am I doing wrong? do I need to burn the CD a certain way for the mac to read them? TIA, J

Assuming you didn't export to a SMF, you should have a logic song file, a backup folder and all your audio files. > what am I doing wrong? I'll assume that what you are missing are the audio files. I think that if you can see any of the files on the disc, it was burned "correctly." But I'm not a PC user, so maybe not. First thing you should do is load the CD into your PC to see if all the files you want show up there. If so, I can't help you. But if they're not there on the PC as well, my guess is that you never copied the audio files over in the first place. You can load Logic again (on the PC) and show info in the audio window of each song to see where the associated audio files are stored. They may be in a completely different place from what you intended. > do I need to burn the CD a certain way for > the mac to read them? Yes. First of all it needs to be a CD-R burn and not an Audio CD burn. At least using Toast on the Mac I have the choice of making the CD-R a Mac only, PC only, or Standard (both). Hope this helps.

Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but if the Mac can "see" the midifiles, I suppose you mean something like "they show up in a fileselector when importing midifiles". I.e. when you open the disk in the Finder, your Logic songs (.lso) _are_ present, but the Mac just doesn't recognize them as Logic songs. If this indeed is the problem: use Logic's "Import" function instead of "Open". After importing, re-save the song, so that the Mac will know they're Logic songs in the future. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html
