RE: Converting FileFormats.

Well, going from 8-bit to 16-bit is like going from 72 dpi to 300 dpi.  
You can do it, but it doesn't sound too good -- look too good.  As with 
dpi, it's best to work from the top down for results.

If you find a sample on the Internet that's 8-bit, I would suggest you 
leave that alone and use it as is.  An an example, I think the 
introduction to Yes' "Owner of a Lonely Heart," the killer drum part, was 
a low-quality sample -- I guess high-quality at that time.  

Have you tried CoolEdit?  The one that's like a freeware version?
