Hurrah!!!!!! I found AudioMove amongst my programs
and it worked beautifully converting all my releases in less than
3 minutes all 1611 files! I got to the organ to load at long last. There are some errors but these are related to tuning mostly, something I find with a lot of instruments that have not had the samples processed properly. So Mission Accomplished (well - almost)..... definitely from the merging point of view. Thanks to all, especially you Jeremy, once again.... and whoever
created this marvellous piece of software. It sure saved my day. Keep this bit of software amongst your arsenal if ever you need to do conversion jobs like this! MarkOn 15/12/2016 18:42, Jeremy Nicoll - ml

I am looking for converters hoping to strike gold but instead I seem to find myself sinking deeper and deeper in thick mud. For instance.... there is this online converter. Ok. Select bit-resolution, done; sampling rate, done; audio channels, done. Then... show advanced options, PCM format: and a horrible list with such things as little-endian and big-endian crops up. What the.......! What are these? A new race? Aliens from outer space?When a 24-bit sample value is stored in a file, its three bytes can be in one order or the reverse; little-endian / big-endian are names for one or the other option. The thing that's so far stopped me from suggesting revisions of the sox command that creates merged files is that I don't know whether it has to include parameters telling sox what internal format the input file has, as well as which internal format you want the result to be. I'd have hoped sox can id he input format... but if soxi can't discriminate between the two formats of data then maybe sox also cannot. There's also, maybe, a problem if it turns out that only some of your release files are in this funny format. The script that does merging may have to become quite a lot more complicated - it's easy to have it issue one command for 'main' files and another for 'release' files, but complicated if it has to somehow test which format files are in.http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-wavIf you were going to use an online converter you'd need some sort of script, I expect, to feed thousands of files into it and retrieve the result - it'd be awful doing that manually. I'm not keen on trying to write a script for that if I don't have to.
