They have a .WAV header, so anything that can play wave files will play
them, and the decocmpression is done by the windows media codecs, not your
player app - i.e. if you use winamp, it will not be decoding the wave, just
passing it onto windows.
If you go into control panel and sounds there is a list of installed
compression formats there, you can convert them in sound recorder.
You can just rename them to .MP3 and most MP3 applications will skip over
the header and just play the audio. Some will give a little burst of static
at the start on these files.
Keep in mind that it will probarbly have used whatever MPEG compression
library you have installed - some are pretty crap as far as sound goes. (ie
Xing)
