THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY: Really- very rare in this particular forum.. Tried to open files (plain document icon) with Quick Time Player.. They do not show up when I go to file>open new> ? The only files that show when I go to open new are the Quick Time MP3s. If I try to open these directly by double clicking on them out of their folder, I am prompted by the Finder to select another program with translations but the only programs it offers to try are AOL IM and Adobe Acrobat Reader? Very strange.

itunes is only available on MAC 0SX. I'm running 9.2. Any other suggestions as to what type of documents these are or what programs will run them?

I have several downloads sitting in their folders with no way to open them. Can't figure out what's different about these files and the ones that I download from the same source and show up as Quick Time MP3s that play just fine...
