Loading sound file

I just installed the Cracker Barrel POI file. With the file there were two sound files ... one a wav and the other an mp3. With the 2460 I understand that I need to use the wav. How do I get the file to load and use with the POI? I would like to create a sound file to alert for the Rest Areas, too. Unless there is one already.

TIA
Don

Sound files

Thanks for the link. OK, I put the SOX where it belongs. When I find the Cracker Barrel sound file I want, I'm not finding a way to save the file. The file opens and plays, but copy is grayed out. Am I missing something? Usually, I pretty good at figuring things out ... not this time.

Loading Sound File

Thanks!! After all these years I have never used the Save Target As. I assumed that it was going to save the address for the file itself.

I have downloaded and converted. Now all I have to do is get our and see if it all works.

Thank you so much for the replies!!
