One problem of this nature happens when the file names are more than 31
characters long. This is fine in Windows but in the EXS24 (either platform)  it
is a problem - probably due to the Mac origins of Emagic code. If you have a
set of files 

Slingerland_Kick_Drum_external_mic_ remote_velocity_1.wav
Slingerland_Kick_Drum_external_mic_ remote_velocity_2.wav
etc

These long names will be truncated down to something like
Slingerland_Kick_Drum_ext~.wav

And I mean ALL of them -- the entire set -- will get the same name and the
files being extracted will overwrite each other since they all have the same
name.

CDXtract preserves the long names but makes an instrument which the EXS24
cannot deal with since the long names are still just that --  too long. You can
fix this by manually editing the sample names and the zones if it is only for a
few samples but for anything large forget it. You need the developer to come up
with a better naming scheme or better yet for Emagic to join the 21st century.
