Re: gs shrink--gs/os recognition & wav startup sound question

The other question was having to do with the startup sound.
I know that the WAVE format is what is needed to play a song, but, I
am having no luck making this happen.  I put a Wave formatted short
400k song on my CF card (i used cider-press and added the file to my
volume) and when I tried to select it, it would not show up in gs/os.
Any suggestions??  I know that I was able to do it another time in the
past with another wav file I xfered over 11 years ago, but i just
can't remember what I did back then to make it work.

I believe that GSOS wants sounds in a format other than .wav files.
One format that it uses is simple 8-bit PCM with no header (so you
could strip the .wav header from an 8-bit PCM file).  Sample rate
was often 11.025kHz.

Many sounds were embedded in the resource fork of applications,
about which I know practically nothing (except how to extract
them to use them with SOUND.EDITOR under ProDOS).
