Thanks Barry, I actually got it to work by coverting it to an "ACC" file in itunes :thumbup:

I just uploaded a "You've Got Mail" MPEG-4 or .m4a sound file with a female voice to my server. It is all set and encoded in itunes "ACC" format, so you can use it right away if you wish ;) LINK

Interesting on what you said about the learning curve. So I went to the Apple Store and check the MacBook out. The colors on the screen are so awesome. The icons are pretty too (lol). This is really a nice laptop.

Gosh! Just not sure I want to learn a new O/S. Everything is so different. Well maybe not everything, just seems it. Like I wonder why the flat keys and no hot key buttons to access your favorites?

I will just follow your tread to keep learning what you have to say about your new toy.

Also, if you type windows lingo into the search box in system preferences it will translate it for you.

For example, typing in "wallpaper" the mac knows your talking about "desktop picture" and will take you to the appropriate pane...

Hey Bruin, just do it. I have only been using mine for 4 days now, and I'm getting used to it pretty quickly. The more you learn, the more fun it it. It is still much, much faster than my 3.0GHz PC. Maybe I should start an X5world Mac Forum? Otherwise this thread will never end :rofl: .
