Quickies for NSSound

---

General

• Converting .snd resource to aiff [permalink]
  Get SoundApp PPC (a classic App). Choose File->Convert, set these attributes:
  • Format : AIFF
  • Encoding : PCM
  • Rate : 44100 Hz
  • Bits : 16 bits
  and save. Then you can load it and play it with NSSound

  Addendum: NSSound is based on Core Audio and QuickTime as of 10.3, so it may be able to play .snd resource files as-is. So give that a try if you don't need to support 10.2 or earlier. (Thanks to Peter Hosey for the clarification.)
