An alternative suggestion is if you can access a Windows machine, slip it in and it should play as WAV is a Windows based file type - notwithstanding iTunes' capability with wav files.

Hi Michael, Sounds a bit "iffy". iTunes can play wav files. What you are experiencing when you receive the message to turn your computer off by pressing the power button is a "Kernel Panic". Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem - frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. I'm not sure here, but I think I would be asking for another disc? Or at least some more information about the items on the disc.
