Re: Looking For Copy of SoundDiver

2004-10-08 by kornelious23

Hey Byron. Nice post. Thanks for the info. I didn't know that about 
the copyright thing, that sounds pretty bunk. I've actually called 
Emagic about trying to find a PC copy as well and even the Emagic guy 
told me to check 'The Usual Places', which is kinda of strange to 
hear. But to be honest, I've even had no luck with 'the usual 
places'. Maybe it's my machine and I should try someone else's 
connection, I'm not sure. All of this is giving me a second wind at 
trying to tackle the whole tape thing again, which I should probably 
do anyways. Thanks once again Byron and to everyone for their 
assistance, I'll ring back with my progress.  Kris.
