Make a new folder on your hard drive first like: Test Cap
Copy all the files that contain the.cap extension to this new
folder "Test Cap".

In your Test Cap folder rename all the files from .cap to .mp3

Be on a file, press F2 key, press your END key to go to the end
of the file name, press your backspace keybaord to delete cap. 3
backspaces to delete cap word. now type mp3 right after the dot.

You have renamed the .cap file to .mp3. Now hit enter key and
see if the audio plays.


You can also try renaming the .cap file to .asf and see if they
work this way.  

Since we copied these files we have not tinkered with the
original recordings.
 
If it does not work then go back to your orignal folder - output
folder and use Replay Converter to convert those files.
