What are the two songs? Somebody here probably has them in a different format.

Send me the new versions... I'll see what is wrong if I can.

Thanks Don, but they're two Christmas octavos. I've solved my own problem though by bearing down and READING the music as I should have in the first place. This streak of laziness will pass as I get more comfortable with my return to the podium.

And Diki, thank you again so much for your offer to help. But since I've solved the problems, I'm not going to worry about the files. In fact, if I need them for the choir I CAN put them on a CD and let them listen and/or sing along. But I don't think that will be necessary either.

If you have Audacity (free audio editor) it can open many audio file types, and save as quite a lot too. Plus you can normalize, EQ, whatever you need.

It's not the best, but it's free! (and cross platform, rare these days)
