Can you convert the show from MP3 to regular music files? I'm not sure how to do that or even if it's possible.
You can make a music cd from the mp3 files.
You can play mp3 files on your computer using various players.
I can play it on RealPlayer, but my computer's MediaPlayer doesn't read it.

You can use Windows Media Player (version 10 or above) to burn your cd's from mp3 files. Here's how.
First, make sure all your mp3s are in the same folder.
Then, open windows media player and get the files into your "Now Playing" list.
Next, there should be a little button at the bottom of the "Now Playing" list that says "start burn".
Make sure you've got a blank cd in your cd carriage.
As it burns the mp3's onto the CD, it will convert the mp3s into .cda files, which can be read by any CD player.
Good Luck!

So... if I understant you right, you want to use Windows Media Player instead of RealPlayer? You can change the program that you use to listen to the files. Here's how.
1. On the mp3 file that you want to play... right-click and select "Open With"
2. Then select ""Choose Program".
3. A window will open with many of your installed windows programs.
4. Select "Windows Media Player"
5. Check the box at the bottom "Always use the selected item to open this kind of file".
6. Click OK.
From now on, your MP3s will play on Windows Media Player Instead of Real Player.

Been piddling with WMP.
Open WMP
Right click on top where is says Windows Media Player
You will see
file>
click on
Open
Then you can browse your folder until you find the mp3 files you have saved.
The using the shift key...highlight all the mp3 files for the show and click the open button.
WMP will then play all the files you have selected.
you can use the next track button to go to next track or back
Now...to work on the burn part.

Listening to it now, the sound quality is better than I'm used to hearing on Buffett shows from RM.

I just about die everytime NETW comes on. Sooo clear. And it was so special that he included it on the set list. I swear, Jimmy saw CRC and me signing along, word for word, with him and he grinned... could have been my imagination. . . wonder how many in the audience even knew about WAR?
