    computer or a special hardware device (like a Rio

WHY USE INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL .WAV FILES?

    more easily.

DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE TO PLAY ?

    from Microsoft can play files or you can download
    these other free software players from Winamp for PC
    users, or SoundApp for Mac users.

AFTER I DOWNLOAD THE FILES FROM YOUR SITE, HOW DO I RENAME THEM FROM  .ZIP  TO  ?

    It is very easy.  You must change the file name in order
    to play it.  First, right click on the file that you want to
    rename. Second, from the drop down list, left click on
    "RENAME".  The file will now be highlighted with a box
    around it.  Third, backspace out the letters Z I P and
    replace them with the letters .  Then left click
    anywhere in the white space next to the file to get the
    highlight box to go away.  Ignore the warning message
    from WINDOWS.  Now you are ready to play the file.
    Just start Winamp, Media Player, SoundApp, or some
    other player, and open the file you want to
    play.  Enjoy!
