Hi Arleen, Well, they are actually few and far between. There is an audio file type called Monkey's Audio that does indeed have an ape extension (a-p-e). As I explained previously, it's promoters claim it is lossless. I have seen real debates by audio techies claiming that it isn't nearly as good as the FLAC format and a few other lossless types that I don't remember. I do have a couple of albums I got a long time ago--Elvis music I believe that is in ape format. They sound pretty good, but frankly, I wouldn't say they're significantly better than MP3. They are indeed quite a bit larger 1.5 to 2 times larger as I recall. ----- Original Message ----- From: arlene To: winamp4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 1:47 AM Subject: Re: Send Space Link For Monkey's Audio Codec: Required For Winamp Functionality Hello: What type of files do you use ape with while listening to Winamp? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Canazzi To: Winamp For The Blind Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 8:19 PM Subject: FW: Send Space Link For Monkey's Audio Codec: Required For Winamp Functionality Hi Group, Since people have requested this, I thought I would send it up to Send Space and forward the notification so any of you who need to play the ape extension files can do so with Winamp. I hope Chris doesn't beat me too much, but this really is not off-topic--since Winamp requires this codec for playing the files. ----- Original Message ----- sendspace file delivery notification: You've got a file called Monkey's Audio Codec_399F.exe, (3 MB) waiting for download at sendspace.com (Your email address was provided by aa2vm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
