Mike you are correct here as standard WAV payers cant handle all of the
information that the Digital Audio Logger tracks. It just doesn't know what
to do with the excess. Along with the audio, it includes the Frequency, time
date. Pl tone etc. I don't think standard wav players would know how to
handle that information. At least I am unfamiliar with one that will
actually display all of that. If there is, I'd like to see it.

But, now I have not tried this, I am told that all I have to do is replay
the Audio log myself then record it via a wav player as I am listening to
it. I can not attest to this and I am sure it depends on the characteristics
of your particular sound card. I have never tried this as I have not had the
need to share an audio segment.
