Convert Intakt Library To Exsp24? (logic Pro 7.1) Options

[mrdelurk]

I bought Zero-G's Sounds of Polynesia, and want to convert the entire sound library to EXS 24 format so that I never have to launch that @#$%! Native instruments Intakt sample player once. (No program that i paid for will order me to do something "to keep using it beyond 14 days." No, thanks >>kick<<)

So how do i convert this whole library to EXS? Logic pro has no direct "Intakt Convert' function and my CDXtract 4 also failed to do a successful conversion. Should I wait for (the long-promised) CDXtract 5 update, or maybe buy Chickensys Translator now?... or do a 2-step batch conversion by going through a mainstream format like Akai or Gigasampler via some shareware utility?

I have a real problem with any program ordering me around. As far as I'm concerned - that is NOT going to pass.

It's okay, I found a solution. (If you can think of a better way, feel free to suggest it.) I played through the entire S.O.P. library yesterday (clicking through all 5 warning Intakt messages... boy do I hate that program!) and found 4 samples that i want in my music. So i don't really need a batch conversion after all, I'll just play those 4 samples and "freeze' the track to audio in Logic Audio, then I'll have them in AiFF format already. Case closed.

My bigger problem is that I just learned that the Colossus that I bought from a producer in New York also runs on Intakt. (Maybe that's why he sold it so fast :-)) I probably *will* need batch conversion for that thing when it arrives.
