From the FAQ on the NCH Switch website And from the Switch Help documentation in the freeware version: And then again on the website: So, from what I am reading here, the DSS conversion capabilities of the freeware version of Switch will be disabled in 14 days. Is that correct? I need confirmation one way or the other on this. Thanks in advance. /bk

Hmmmm... I don't think you've got the actual .RAM file as much as the link to the RAM file on the 'net. Open the 0kb RAM file you have there in Notepad and/or Wordpad and see if it isn't just pointing to a different file out on the web. I've been caught by that trick on a couple of websites before. Hope that helps. /bk

Well, I have started testing the freeware version of Switch and have come to realize a couple of things: 1.) It seems the .DSS converter plugin must be downloaded the first time you try to convert or play a DSS file. I don't know if it comes with the Switch Plus version, but in the freeware version, the dialog box for the download of the plugin was hidden behind a couple other windows on the desktop, so the first time I didn't even know that it was trying to download something. 2.) While the freeware version isn't big on progress reports on a batch job, when you are looking at the GUI window, if you have a red 'X' on the file, it hasn't been converted. When you see the green checkmark, then you can look in your OutFolder and find the converted file. Hope that helps. /bk
