SUMMARY
=======

If you choose Cancel while Sound Finder is converting a file and you have chosen
to overwrite the existing file with the new format, the conversion will still
overwrite the existing file.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Once you have chosen to overwrite a file (that is, you respond Yes when asked
whether to replace a file with the same name) and the conversion process has
begun, the old file is deleted. At this point, the old file is not recoverable.
To avoid losing a usable copy of the file, allow the conversion process to
complete.
