Sound Ideas produces several Podcasting & Web Development Products. All wav files on these products can be accessed from both PC and Mac platforms. Mac users can easily access the wav files (for use with software applications like Macromedia Flash), through use of QuickTime 4 (installed with current Macintosh operating systems), or by using an audio editing package like Sound Forge (available from http://www.sonicfoundry.com).

Every CD-ROM will play on either the Macintosh or PC platform. It does not matter which computer your students own.

No. The Korg PA1X CDs have been designed and optimised for use with the PA1X only. Other versions may be produced in the future.

Linux supports the ISO 9660 (CD-ROM) file system with Rock Ridge extensions (formerly known as "High Sierra". Several vendors provide Debian GNU/Linux in this format. Warning: When installing from CD-ROM, it is usually not a good idea to choose dselect's cdrom access method. This method is usually very slow.

Back to ToC Till recently, the Macintosh OS only displayed the short filenames (like FILE~1.DOC) of Joliet CD-ROMs. Thomas Tempelmann released in may 2000 a free Joliet File System Extension for the Macintosh. This extension can be downloaded from his Web Site. This extension only displays the first 31 characters of the filename. More, the full name is available in the Information dialog box.

If you can play the jigsaws on this site, then the CD-ROMs should work on your Macintosh computer. (However, I have had one customer with an old iMac who could not read the CD-ROM.) icaPuz reports that some Macs have trouble with some images in Java. You may need to copy the contents of the CD-ROM to your Mac hard drive. Try playing the puzzles directly on the CD-ROM first. To start play on the CD-ROM, display the directory of the CD-ROM and run _index.html (opens in your browser).

Although the CD-ROMs have been designed for Windows computers, the data files containing the actual service manuals can be read on Macintosh computers running Adobe Acrobat Reader. So the answer is that the CD-ROMs will not function as designed but the service or parts manuals can still be read from the CD-ROM. Our products run directly off the CD. If you already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, then installing our software is as easy as putting the CD into you CD-ROM drive.

If you have a MAC ®, then you can still sign on to take any of our classes. Many of our customers have taken their courses on MACs ® and had no problems whatsoever. However, be aware that our technical support team may be unable to assist you should you encounter technical difficulties. They do not have MACs ® and, therefore, may be unable to replicate any problem you may encounter.

People are sometimes amazed at how simple a CD can be. That said, in most cases, using simple technologies such as Microsoft PowerPoint for slide shows is just not adequate. Some of the factors that guide us to the best technology and tools for a CD-ROM project include:

We have an iBook laptop computer available for use in the seminars on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact us to reserve it for use in your seminar.

Back to ToC A Macintosh CD-ROM, be it a plain HFS CD-ROM or a hybrid (HFS/ISO 9660) CD-ROM, remains a plain data CD-ROM, even if it is not conformant to the ISO 9660 standard. You should therefore use a CD-ROM copying program to do the copy. Don't use a CD-ROM burning software or a program to extract the files from the CD-ROM.

Sony wanted MD-Data to replace 3.5" floppy-disks (1.4 Mb, 2.8 Mb and 21 Mb floptical), not CD-ROM (a well implanted medium in the computer industry by now, and currently cheap). MD-Data's first incarnation was the MDH-10 SCSI drive, it provided 140 MB of data storage on an MD but was slow, expensive and incompatible with the Audio MD format (Data drives cannot read or write audio MD data except in "play" mode, which does not provide computer access to the data.).

Yes, network software allows organizations to install and use the software over their local area networks. Additional fees apply based on the number of licenses required, ranging from 5 licenses to an unlimited number of licenses.

It depends who you talk to. Certainly, CD-ROM (and DVD) based training has an important role to play, and it is an electronic, computer-based format. But because CDs are not tied to the Web and can't be updated on a moment's notice, they lack the networkability that I feel is essential for e-learning. So CD-based courseware is distributed learning, even distance learning, but it is not e-learning.
