Rick Flarez Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 If you're just talking about regular audio & video files, then yeah, once you have the right player most will. I dunno about things like reason files as i haven't tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 If you're using program-specific formats, then you're fine. They're the same from program to program. But raw audio has to be converted from aif to wav, which creates lossing problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 You should be fine. Bfunk moves his tracks from mac to pc all the time. Compatiability has been much less of an issue over the last few years, thanks to the Joliet CD file system. Thank fuck. But yeah, if ever in doubt use the ethos "make the mac think like a PC", because the reverse is always ten times more awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
