Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

Ok folks, I am a seasoned MPC3000 user. I am now wanting to move to NI Battery and want to bring all my MPC3000 sounds over to WAV. I bought CDXtract but can't get the PC to read the MPC Zip disks I used with my MPC. What do I have to do to be able to read the MPC formatted Zip Disks on my PC so I can convert the sounds?

Thanks in Advance.

Go to www.midicase.com.
He has two programs to do just that.
One free, the other pay.

Good luck.

"but can't get the PC to read the MPC Zip disks "

You left out the most important bit of information, what type OS on the PC?

The particular OS's I use do not have a problem reading MPC3000 drives.

"Go to www.midicase.com.

I do not think either of the programs do not accomplish that particular task. I do not think the poster appreciates a wild goose chase.

My apologies gentlemen!
I didn't ask for enough details before I responded. However, if I am correct and the goal is to extract all of your MPC sounds from your Zip disk's various MPC partitions and back into your computer as WAV files, it can be done. Maybe not with your computer setup alone, nor easily, and not without using multiple Zip disks, but it can be done.

Peace.
