That still creates a QT file (acccording to the icon it ends up with).

Right. No compression.

I'll take yet another stab at it, but I think I went through everything. My
little recorder offers all the options available for recording in Rev. The
file extensions all get named as expected.

QT translates and plays them fine.

WMP always refuses, throws an error "Cannot play back file. File format not
recognized"

Oddly, my friend across town was able to eventually open and play a file I
sent, apparently in WMP on a Windows box. But it wouldn't open in the email.
he had to put it somewhere on disk, but it did play when he opened it. The
only difference I can tell is that I reduced the size (mono) and the bit
rate (11025). The file was about 13% of the original.

This is sooooo strange. I wish I knew what was really happening.

Thanks,
