EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi folks, 
                    just bought an ESX-24.   I have an S3000 sample library
(4 gig on Zip250 disks) that I want to get into the Mac.  I thought I was
going to have to make disk images / CD-R's of these Zips to get them into
the ESX.

However with the first CD I did, the Akai conversion utility only sees
samples which are part of programs.   The vast majority of them are not
instruments / in programs - they are just big groups of raw samples which I
pull into programs as I'm writing a track.  I can't even see them in the
list of sounds, 'cause its so ruthlessly hierarchical.

What's the quickest / simplest way for me to get these onto my Mac?  Is
there a conversion utility which will batch convert Akai samples into AIFF
files?

Please don't tell me I'm going to have to create programs for them all
before I import them - I'll be here for weeks...

please help someone - I'm beginning to worry that I've spent £200 I'm going
to regret...

best,

pk
