Does anyone know of a ActiveX Control That Is Free Or Close To Free That Will Convert A MP3 to A Wave File?

Could you use Command Line instead of ActiveX?
That way you could just use LAME I think?

Lame converts to wave?

I thought it was just a MP3 encoder.

[KingSparta]

I was thinking about testing something Like

Take a cd rip a song in dif mp3 bit rates

then convert them to wave and see what i would get if i did a md5 check sum on it

or could create a program that would allow some laditude in dif bit rate converted to wave files so i could get a match on the data.

From what I can gather from the documenation yep.
It's got a decode option which takes an Mp3 and outputs a wave.
Can't say i've tried it tho, I just quickly looked it up when I saw your post.
I don't really see what you're aiming to do.

What would you do with the checksum one you've got it?
Or was that a talking to yourself moment... I get them!

[KingSparta]

maybe i will look into it then and i think try to use the "Execute" command if I remember correctly, that might work.

There's a windows version of the command line utility mpg123 at this Japanese page:
