If you have obtained an APE file, this is a Monkey's Audio file. Monkey's Audio is a lossless audio compression codec . There is no quality loss from the source audio once it is compressed. It achieves a compression rate of about 40%. It's main advantage over lossy compression formats such as MP3 is obvious, the quality of MP3 is not near as good. However, the files are much larger than simple MP3 files which is why MP3 files would be more available online than APE files.

You need to have a player that supports Monkey's Audio. Foobar2000 is an excellent advanced player for a lot of audio formats.

Also if you are interested in burning these files to CD as Audio CDs, you can do that if you download a plugin for Nero Burning Rom.

Hope that helps.

Just download the converter and turn it back into a WAV file: http://www.monkeysaudio.c...nload.html

Hope you figured it out earlier though and didn't get too stressed. hug
