Default Re: NT / MAC Cross Platform File Services

SD2 files are "multi-fork" files. The descriptive information (sample-rate, bit-depth) is stored in the resource-fork. I don't think that HTTP has any protocol for transferring multi-fork files. ie., I'm not sure there's a solution for auditioning sd2 files through a browser.

Quick Time 4 has problems with Sd2f files from an NT Server run Services for Macintosh. We have no problems with WAV, AU, or AIFF files, but for some reason we get cracked Sd2f files when we attempt to play them through the IE browser using QT.

Maybe (just a though) Digidesign could develop a browser plug-in that eliminates these problems? A smart or assignable browser plug-in.
