OT: Transferring a sample library from Mac to a PC

[tommydee]

I'm sure this has been covered, but I couldn't find it... so here goes:

I bought a PC to run Reason/Sonar/SoftSynths on.
Currently my entire sample library is on a Mac hard-drive.
I'm wanting to move all the samples over to the PC, keeping the same folder/directory structure so Reason can still find the samples it needs for each song.
I'm anticipating that the PC won't be able to read my Mac-formatted firewire drive... so what utility or piece of software can help with this? Or any other suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Tom.

there is a program called macopener. (Us 002 users got a demo of it) I'm not sure if they have a demo available for download or not.

MediaFour MacDrive when installed on your pc, will allow it to see and read any mac formatted drive. you can then move files to your hearts content from your FW drive to internal or vice-versa. i use it and have never had any problems. very easy and simple to use. BTW, if your stuff is in SDII files, pcs wont be able to use those.

thank you for the tips.
(luckily none of the samples are SDII.)
how did you get the gig producing that band??

my production/ writing partner is the lead singer. we were given a "chance" from the a&r guy after hearing our demos that we turned in for the songs we wrote and ended up producing/writing the 1st 2 singles for the album. i love being the underdog.
