Interesting site. I just tried it. I also could not import a downloaded wav file from the site into iTunes successfully. Going to File | Import showed the file grayed out.
As an experiment I opened the wav in QT Pro and exported it out as another wav file (added one character to the file name). Using File | Import on the new file and it also showed it grayed out. However, I dragged and dropped the exported file to the iTunes icon in the Dock and it put it in the library. I tried the same thing with the original and it did not import it. I suspect they have some sort of AAC type protection on the file to prevent it's importation. I'm not sure if the free version of QT has the same export feature. --- MikeRF/A2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am running Jaguar 10.2.8 on a G3 iBook 700 with > iTunes v. 4.7 and > for the life of me can not figure how to get small > sound-bite WAVE > files from this site http://www.wavsource.com into > iTunes and play > them. > > iTunes is supposed to be able to play WAVE files, is > it not? > > They download as Quicktime files and so far, will > only play in > Quicktime Player.
