Apple II tapes backed up to wav...now what?



Living in Japan I've been searching for some time for Japanese
specific programs that were written to work on an Apple IIj plus
(which I own), and recently I found a small pile of Apple II
cassettes, and I believe some are Japanese specific. Some cassettes
are original, but most are copies. I have made digital wav files of
everything, and have used Ciderpress to convert the wav files and put
the contents on a virtual DOS3.3 floppy (.po file). Most wav files
converted ok, but a couple of the wav files were unreadable (BAD) by
Ciderpress at all settings and re-recording the wav files at different
levels did not fix the issue, so maybe they are gone forever.

All the programs are machine code except one (Planets by Programma). I
was able to load the .po file for Planets and run this in an emulator
in Applesoft basic, but how do I load and run the machine code
programs, many of which have converted as 2 or 3 separate files using
Ciderpress? I'm a little confused.

Is there any other programs that can convert wav files into something
usable for an emulator. I have tried converting the wav to aiff (or
cass file - same thing) and loading them in Virtual ]['s virtual
cassette, but nothing works and I get ERR every time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Phil
