I've been converting about one library a day, and only have converted 
Platinum Phatt so far. The Platinum Phatt contains all the sounds 
from the Mo'Phatt, plus a bunch of loops - a total of about a 
gigabyte of material. I don't really write much hip hop/R&B, so I 
don't forsee using this much, but the sounds were fine and very 
usable. At this price, it was a no brainer to me.

Small rant to follow...

I use Translator, and my task is TRULY painful. I hate this software, 
but the only reason I use it is I don't know of any other software 
that does the translations *as accurately*. Still, this software is 
loaded with bugs that change it from an automatic process to a hand-
held process. One time I had to scotch-tape the Enter key down to say 
OK to approximately 1,000 debug dialog boxes. I report bugs to 
Chicken Systems almost every time I use it (I'd report more, but I'm 
not a paid employee of Chicken Systems, so I need to get SOME work 
done on my own time). I literally emailed them asking them to buy all 
the Emu CD's since they were such a good price and they could squash 
a ton of translation bugs all at once.

Ok. That was a big rant. But I sure feel refreshed now :-)
