Lauri, think ".au" (called simply "Audio Files") It's actually a UNIX native format from what I understand, and most freeware/shareware sound editors I have seen (not too many - I'm into Lester Flat and Earl Scrugs - they're still on vinyl 78 RPM . . . disks) can save in that format. What I know (from experience) is that "a computer with a sound card" can play it. I've seen the files play under OS 6.2 on a II ci, AND <shudder> WIN XP on a brand new Dell (boy, did Dell go in the toilet or WHAT ;-)). Pretty universal - I'd say.

I cannot afford to buy any programs right now so they will have to be freeware. My Mac can't use iTunes as It's only OS9. > >Can someone check this page out to make sure I did this right?
