When using Authorware or Director to convert WAV to SWA, is there a limit to how many files you can convert at one time? I cannot seem to do more than 12 at a time. Any work arounds?

I think what people did was to use their favourite sound editor to
convert to MP3 and then simply renamed the extension to SWA, because it
is (correctly?) supposed that a SWA is an MP3 minus some headers and
track info.

I don't think there is a limit to how many you can convert at one time. There
is a limit on how many you can add to the list to convert. I am usually
limited to adding 23 files at one time. I select those, click on Open. Once
they're in the Convert .wav window, I click Add Files... again and get the next
23. I just do this until I get all my audios, then I press Convert.

I suspect there's a 512 character limit on the filenames string that gets
put in the 'File name:' edit box portion of the Open dialog. Where it says:

"MySound1.wav" "MySound2.wav" "MySound3.wav" etc....
