I've been considering making a wav to wa2 converter. As an added bonus, I'd probably throw in bmp to bm2.

Didnt you know? wa2 files are compressed, have superior sound quality, and cannot be read by the RIAA. These are the files of the future bak; MP3s are soon to be replaced.

Also, the source is so complicated I was forced to delete it as soon as I compiled the project, for fear it might fall into the wrong hands (like the RIAA).

Yes, well done. I really like your part in where you say they have ;superior sound quality; ;cant be read by the RIAA; (I mean, do they care)
Note: If you think this is a unnecessary post please don't be scared to talk to me.

emot-wtf.gif. If you're going to run a batch, you might as well just use REN...

Ok wait.... If you are saying wa2's are better.
That means:
bm2 files are more compressed than bmp files
and bm2s have more picture quality than bmp.s?

He was sarcastic. WA2s and BM2s are exactly the same as WAVs and BMPs.

......

He was being SARCASTIC.

BM2 = BMP
BMP = BM2

WA2 = WAV
WAV = WA2

It is just a different alias. Exact same format.

YOU DON'T USE A BATCH FILE. You are already having the user type in the filename and directory, it is so much easier to just cd to the proper directory and type "ren blah.wa2 blah.wav".

And that still isn't the easiest way to do it. Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View -> Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

you don't even need to do that, since bm2 and wa2 is not a known type it should show up anyway

True, but it's less confusing my way since the extension doesn't just disappear.
