Go to:
http://parisfaqs.com/ and do a *Control F* find search in your browser
for PAF, it should read as below...
Wave files
a.. If you want to convert between PAF (Paris) and Wave files, here is a
utility called PafWavConvert (444 kb zip).
b.. If you need to import wave files into Paris and are having problems,
it may be due to header information in the wave file. There is a utility
called StripWav that will remove extraneous info.
c.. If you need to do any sample rate conversion, and you want something
different than what Paris has built in, check out R8Brainyay ! Happy 1 year !

Thanks
mario.roso@os.t-com.hrI'm sorry to hear that. You are the exception to the norm. I think Apple
is wrong for not replacing the whole system. People in the mac community
have said for years to not jump on the latest hardware until it has been
proven in the field. The beige G3 was another example of that.
If you decide to go to tiger, put it on a test drive first and run it for
a few months before you commit. Tiger is still not ready. Safari, text
edit and GarageBand crash in tiger. I'm running Mozilla right now. I'm
going to reload Tiger and all the apps. to see if that helps. If not I'm
going back to Panther.
