Re: BA: something to tinker with

Tim you need something like PolkSoft's EasyCDAudioExtractor.
It has an app with it called EasyCDAudioConverter, that can convert
almost any audio format to any other.

The other one that comes to mind is the open source Audacity, which I
think will be able to do the same...
