[comp.sys.mac] CheapBeep/Sound Files Question?

stephens@hpcupt1.HP.COM (Greg Stephens) (11/11/87)

Why do some sound files work with CheapBeep while others produce only white
noise?  At the same time all of these files can be played by SuperPlay.
These files all have a Type = 'FSSD' and Creator = 'FSSC' (or was it
the other way around?)

Apparently, some of those sound files are in a compressed format, which 
CheapBeep is not designed to cope with, though they work fine with 
utilities that are.
