<p>Winamp should be able to open the file. If you want to convert it you can go to the winamp preferences, look under &quot;Output&quot; and choose NullSoft Disk Writer instead of DirectSound. It will save the file as mp3 instead of playing it.</p><p>Remeber to go back in and select DirectSound when you're done.</p>

If you are using a PC and have MS media player... you should be able to right click on the file&gt;Open with&gt; and use Media player and be srtaight... if you can't then Fuck it.... it's not worth it.

<p>&quot;I have used them as audio in my shockwave development for a few years now. Shockwave actually calls them .swa, but a .swa is just an mp3 with an additional header and a .swa can be played through the normal mp3 players. &quot;</p><p>Have you tried renaming the file and loading it into something like media player? If that doesn't work, try getting a Shockwave decompiler or convertor to get it into mp3 or wav format </p>

'vlc media player' usually opens obscure files for me
