Hi

I am carrying out some research work into the viability of automatic
conversion of audio (various formats) into a range of codecs.

It needs to be able to produce professional quality conversions using
a range of (user definied) sampling rates.

I would like to talk to people or companies who carry out this type of
work and who can integrate this type of software with third party
hardware and software.

I would envisage that the type of software I have in mind will be in
use by radio stations and commercial studios to transfer music to hard
drives.

I have been searching online for a while but there's a high signal to
noise ratio when looking for this info on the web. While I know that
there is probably a perfect newsgroup for this I have been following
the threads in here and it seems like my requirement will overlap with
the expertise of the people present.

Any and all help is much appreciated.

TIA
Roger

You mean "range of formats". A codec is a module (software or hardware)
that converts to and from a specific format.

Have you looked at sox? http://sox.sourceforge.net/

It uses three different algorithms for smaple rate conversion, discussed
he http://leute.server.de/wilde/resample.html

You mean *low* signal to noise ratio.
