| Play .apc files? Is there any Mac software that can play .apc sound files, or convert them to some other sound format? |

| What software created the .apc files to begin with? I had a look around and couldn't really find anything or any software that will play this format ... |

| It is APAC Compressed Audio, an obscure obsolete lossless audio compression format. |

| Yep, that's about all I found for it too .... even googling APAC Compressed Audio didn't unearth any further info ... so the obsolete part explain that bit to me .... |

| The files are music files from a game. I wanted to be able to play the music without playing the game. |

| Ahh ... then enable the inbuilt mic if your Mac has one, you do this through System Preferences ~> Sound. Launch GarageBand, create a new project, save it to the Desktop and add a Real Instrument track. Click record while the song is playing in the background and make sure you turn off the click track which is under the Control menu ... Export it to iTunes, in the Share menu. The overall sound may be less than optimal but you can add a bit of oomph in GarageBand before you export ... There will probably be another way to do this so watch this space ![]() Last edited by VirtualTracy; August 10th, 2008 at 02:29 AM. |

| Apparently this company called Marian distributes this application, and it's only for Windows 3.x-NT4. I couldn't find any other application on the Internet that would be able to convert this file to something more compatible. http://www.marian.de/en/downloads#APAC More information about the APAC application from this site: http://www.rjamorim.com/rrw/apac.html

| A quick post before I head out of the house! If the ".apc" files are the same as the "CRYO APC" format ("Audio format used in some games by CRYO Interactive Entertainment"), then it looks like FFmpeg may be able to handle them (see list of supported file formats). It may be worth looking at the OS X equivalent, ffmpegX. |
