Does anyone know how to Recover/convert Roland VS.1680 Files From CD/DVD on a Mac

any methods, obscure software etc…?
trying to get extract a bunch of songs from an old archive and no longer have the recorder ?

Can’t seem to find anything for macs, and I don’t need the song structures to be intact I just need the audio

happy new year, hopefully this program still works.

VSWaveExport

it’s roland’s proprietary format so if it doesn’t work, you might be screwed.

FWIW this prog is still linked from roland’s support page and thus it should be safe, but when in doubt, always scan a file before you launch it.

You need a homie with an old windows pc. Maybe you can run it in a windows shell? Somethin like that?

that’s the next stop I guess, a shell safe enough for an M4 mini… , exhausted now but I’ll get back on it in a minute or next year which ever comes first :grin:

I got a winxp laptop running. If you want to share your files i could export it for you.

thank you for offering, I got way too many bad kids to pawn them off on you like that :smile: and I do have access to a pc as a last resort, however it will come with a hefty dose of ridicule about how my shiny new mac can’t do this and that lol… but what else are big brothers for
