Blue J Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I downloaded a .rar file a couple of days ago, and when I unpacked it, I found that it was in .ape, which I've never seen before. So then I found a conversion tool for that, because .ape is not a listenable format. I had never heard of the company offering this conversion too, called Faasoft. But when I started the download, it would not tell me how large the file was, for the tool. It just listed a question mark. So then I thought that might be bogus, or even harmful, so I stopped the download right there and got rid of it. Has anybody worked with .ape before? What do you use to convert those files to FLAC, or any other listenable format? Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permanent-Rush Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've never used it before but it would be best to change the file format some how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Why would you want to change the .ape file? You can listen to it by using a player like Winamp. Or just download the plugin (in_ape.dll) for the player you use. If you want to convert the file go here http://www.monkeysaudio.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks...I'm on Mac OS (Sierra, I think), so I don't think Winamp would do anything for me. Â But anyway, thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
