Exporting the music library from an Arrakis DL4???

K

Is there any way to get the music library out of one of these things??? I thought they were MP3's, and would like to use the music on another application.

Thanks
 
They probably aren't MP3's ... Arrakis stuck with something they didn't
have to pay licensing on. The best bet is to take the hard drive out,
connect it to a computer - and see if it's readable. Not sure if they
are IDE or SCSI. The old DigiLinks were proprietary SCSI drives, but
you could get the audio off via DOS ... clunky but doable.
 
IIRC Digilink used APT or some other less-popular codec. So even if you COULD get access to the files, you'd have to find a way to convert them to a usable format.

It would probably cost less in both money and time spent to either re-acquire the library in a more popular format or dub it out from Digilink in real time.
