yes, interesting.
the import is for akai-format cds so if you downloaded single sounds and
burned them on a mac-cd the importer will not see them because it only looks
for akai disks.
i guess that the sounds you downloaded from akai-ftp are s5000/6000 format
and that is _as far as i know_ not supported by the exs anyhow.
i guess thats a call for translator chicken thinggie.

but it would be grat if the exs could import mesa/ak.sys format files
directly.
