I have a lot of disk images of sample cds that i would like to get into the
Exs24. I have converted Akai and Giga cds before with sucsess.
But I do not understand what kind of format the new sample cds are ?!
The disk images have folders containing partions (A-I) . Inside the forlders
there are example a subfolder called "conga" and inside there are a file
called "-conga basic.fxp" and a folder contailing a conga sample. 

I think maybe the .fxp is a halion standard?

How can I convert theese sample cds to EXS 24 instruments so that they are
ready to be played on a keyboard?!

Help would be very nice:-)

Do you have the original CD's? If not, you should. (piracy warning, given 
to all and every person...)

Right, these aren't disk images. They are folder trees of Akai S-1000/3000 
programs converted into HALion by someone. Again, if you haven't purchased 
these libraries, these are pirated samples.

You can use Translator www.chickensys.com to convert HALion->EXS, but 
that's only the PC version at the moment. Again, this advice is only valid 
if you legally own those .fxp and and sample files; otherwise, throw them 
away as they aren't yours. Don't mean to be accusatory, but by the 
descriptions you give, piecing together the information I doubt you own 
these samples.
