if the maximum in 9K or so, what do you want them for anyway?
The files on the Braillenote already are similar to those in Windows so it
may be interesting to hear what the files are but I can think of no great
use for Wav files on this kind of device at the moment.
Playing MP3 files in Mono is perhapse useful if you have audio books and
things, but what do you want wavs for?

Hi all,
Hmmmmm, I think I know why this is, but maybe the PDI techies can
confirm it? When the BN makes a sound, like the alarm or the shwap,
shwap of the BN loading GPS maps, that's a wav file. However, I don't
think the machine is designed to play large wav files. 9KB hardly
cuts it when you're talking about songs or books or anything like
that. You sure you mean KB, and not mg? No, forget WAV files if the
limitation is that small.
