You can download it and pick up the codecs you need in one place.

Just a quick tip , something I didn't realise when I first started out here is that you can import apes direct into Sonar and it will de-code them itself.

Think I spent about 3 months converting all the seps before I realised  ;D

Thanks....I already had poweramp and monkey's audio installed, but there's no option to open and ape file. I can create and listen to ape files (winamp plugin). Where to I find the plug in to open ape in poweramp?

Thanks again

Hi BT,

Click on the dbpoweramp icon (usually found on your desktop?) Once that's open you can navigate to the folder where your apes are. Right click the ape and there should be an option to convert to wav. wma. mp3. (or indeed ape).
