Yeah (.m4a). But it doesn't seem to be able to look for extensions. -- nm - mara Feb 10, 19:57 6
- Also .wav -- nm - mara Feb 10, 19:58 5
  - are you adding the asterisk? *.wav -- nm - JaxSean Feb 10, 20:04 4
    - on windows 7 it's "type:*.wav" -- nm - JaxSean Feb 10, 20:07 3
      - Windows XP. Somehow I think you're talking about a method that I'm not familiar with. I'm using the "search" function in the Start menu. -- nm - mara Feb 10, 20:14 2
        
        That's where I'm doing it on Win7. It should be similar, but definitely need the asterisk, from what I remember. - JaxSean Feb 10, 20:16 1
        
        That's okay -- thanks! (Tried it with and without asterisks.) -- nm - mara Feb 10, 20:17
