    Hi there,

    First Time Poster, Longtime reader. Recently I was handed some various audio files from an Alcorn McBride Digital Binloop Professional Audio/Visual Reproducer and Player. Link http://alcorn.com/products/binloop/

    Each of the files is contained in a .AMS file format. I can assure you they are indeed audio files not video. My question is, what software can I use on my macintosh to convert/play these files? I know of a few people who have had success with PC's in opening these files and playing/converting them, but really need to know if there are ways to working with this format on my Mac for buisness purposes. Can anyone help or explain anything they know?

    I get this sort of problem a lot at work - someone brings in proprietary formats and wants to know how to convert. What I usually do is start by scouring their website for programs to convert, if that fails I start googling the product name and "+mac +os", then if that fails it usually boils down either phoning or emailing their tech support see if they offer anything.

    I used to use a program called Adobe Audition to convert things, but as they havent released a Mac version I cant recommend that. Also if the format isnt standard - i.e compressed, then this method usually doesnt work.

    So I think the best bet would be to give the company a call to see what they say. Sorry I cant be more help than that.
