Sir Troth,
You understood exactly what I was asking.  I will look into MP3 
players.  I don't think I have anything that plays mp3's.....  Thank you 
so much for explaining  that I can do what I want to do with these 
files.  These programs are popcast.  Thank you so much for your help.   
I love this list....
