Well, for one, you've repeatedly ignored the things I've said in this thread, and repeatedly told me that I what is clearly happening in front of me on my PC is simply not happening. I find that pretty damned annoying. > > These applications had no capability of opening a file.

I said this in my first posts explaining that none of the software I'd tried worked for me. You just missed it, obviously. And your repeated insistence that I was wrong is what made me respond as above. Now you see perfectly well that I was right about the soundcard being involved, but you weren't working without that information, which I'd already provided (when I said an outside player had to be used to initiate the playback). Your certainty that you were correct, the fact that you've told me at least 3 times that my soundcard is not involved is what drove my annoyance. > > Now, more than one of the apps *did* have the ability to open WAV > > files, but I wanted to analyze MP3 files, so those were of no use to > > me.

Well, since none of the software met my needs, I uninstalled it. I'm not interested in software that requires me to work around its limitations by doing conversions like that, when there's software that can read both directly. I've got better things to spend my time on, many of them quite time-consuming by themselves, without doing MP3-WAV conversions to use in applications that it seems to me ought to read the MP3s natively. -- David W.
