Morning:

I'm somewhat confused. I've been wanting to play a few games that are housed within "BIGFISH" and "POPCAP". I'm not sure which app will allow this. Would like some information about the practical use of either/both of these apps. (info beyond what's provided w/install pkg.)
Also, a little complaint here. Yesterday, I was ripping a CD using ASUNDER. Was going along fine, except that the very last song was ripped in .wav (I was using FLAC). Any explanations for this?

On the software, wine is an emulator, and a good one. Virtual box is a 'pc inside a pc' and is probably the more troublesome and resource consuming choice, with a better result usually.

wine is much easier t try.

I agree. Having switched recently from VBox to Wine and apps went well.

As regards Asunder -- most ripper applicants rip to WAV as an intermediate step, then create the FLAC file, then delete the WAV file. It sounds like Asunder stopped working part way through that process on the last file but why it did is anybody's guess. Mine being it had trouble ripping the last track as optical drives tend to be a bit troublesome so I would re-rip the last track to make sure.

Yea, well like I said, it wasn't that big a deal. Just was really curios as to how/why it did that. I'm satisfied with Asunder, but the reason I use it is because SoundJuicer quit working. Hey, got another question for you if you or anyone would care to answer it. What is a APE (monkey file). I've tried different sites and am not really getting a definitive answer/definition. I do understand it is a lossless file, but what is it's differences/advantages over other lossless?

To businesskid & pingwinowiewc:

Thanx for replying. So, as I understand, it sounds like WINE would be the better app for my needs? Sound right to you?

THANK YOU:
RICK

I would rather say wine is easier to try. If it did not work for you, try virtualbox.
