    Dalet/Digigram .snd

    Just about to give up with this, but we have around 4000 soundfiles recorded with Dalet 4, using Digigram PCX 5 soundcards and their WBX algorithm - if we had opted for the MUSICAM algorithm we'd have been fine apparently, but we didn't know that in 2001!

    The files produced are MP2 at 256kkpbs (=128x2), 48kHz (6:1 compression).

    Digigram did supply a 'convert.exe' tool which it then turned out "would not work if the files have a Dalet header" (we presume they do as they were recored with Dalet). Nothing so far will convert these to anything else - or play them.

    Can anyone see a solution? Many thanks

    It looks like if your install dMC r11.5 (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/bin/dMC-r11.5.exe) and then go to Legacy Codec Central, there is a Dalet .snd codec (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/legacy/cod...tral-dalet.htm) you can install to convert your files to a different format.

      Hi. Thanks for this.
      Yes, we have tried both of those and the message is
      "The CODEC required to decompress
      'C:\Documents and Settings\Studio7\Desktop\wbx.SND' could not be opened".

        Might it help if I posted a small sound file (or a link to one)

            Well, we've tried the <dMC-R12.2-Ref-Trial.exe> with the <dMC-ref-codec-pack.exe> and <dBpoweramp-codec-Dalet.exe>...

            It converts, but the result is a tiny file with no audio...???

            Shall we give up and delete 'em all?

              .snd is also used for other audio formats, might not be a dalet file.

                Deffo a Dalet file - recorded on Dalet with Digigram cards. This was the WBX format which appears to have been a disaster! Thanks for all the help -looks like it can't be done.
