In the past years, I have been recording audio interviews and voices of interest to me.
I used to own a digital audio recorder back in 1996 where I used it to record lectures during my part time degree course. A CD with software and driver came together with the digital recorder where it helped me to connect to PC and play the recordings. As the digital recorder had only 128MB memory, the file format it stored was in DMF. This kind of audio format can compress an hour long lecture in less than 14MB. Hence, to store an 8 hour long recording was possible.
As years gone by and PC operating system upgraded, this wonderful software was long gone from the newer PC I was using. As I tried to open these DMF audio files recently, I realized I had a problem! There wasn't any digital audio player in the market right now that can open them! Although I managed to find some software that claim to able to open DMF audio file format, but to my disappointment, they all can't.
Finally, I resorted to digging into my old software CD album to look for the wonderful software. Yes, I found it after a while. But I was not sure it if can work on Windows 7. The printing on the CD stated supported operating system to be Win 98, Win 2000, Win XP. However, I gave it a try by installing the software into Windows 7.....oh yes! It still worked!
With that I managed to convert all DMF files into WAV format. And of course, with WAV format, you can easily convert them into MP3 and any other format.

You sir are a prince amongst men. Thank you SO MUCH for making this software available online. I use to own it with my first MP3 player many years a go, but have since tossed it out. I only recently discovered a whole lot of DMF files that needed converting and was distressed by the lack of available software. That is until you saved the day. Thanks again!
