??????????????????????? Then tell me, how did I just convert half of my akai
library to EXS with CDXtract???? 3.4 is out with EXS support!!! Go get it!!!!!

True indeed. :-(

Well, let's say his program is around for some years, and it started out buggy in
the beginning as well, I guess.... I'm sure Emagic will get their act together on
this, but there's still some work to be done. In the meanwhile, I preferred being
productive with my Akai libraries and converted a lot of them already with
CDXtract (and now I need an extra harddisk 'cause the "sample disk" is full....
:-)

Just went to cdxtract.com and just read the first page: EXS support!!!! You'll
love it! I see there's another update already.

They do, although it might be a bit buggy here and there... and the rest is
marketing? ;-)))

I'm sure they're working on it, but don't forget that Logic is more than Akai
conversion, so they probably can't release update as fast as cdxtract can.
