The files stored or referred to on this site may need extra software installed on your computer to use them.
- NWC files can be read by
- the freeware program
NoteWorthy Player, which
plays the file while displaying the score, highlighting each note as it is played.
If you want to edit or print the file, you will need
NoteWorthy Composer
(shareware). Both are by NoteWorthy Software, Inc.
- the NWC plugin for WinAmp, available here (please note - does not work with winamp version 3. (Winamp version 2 still available); or
- the NWC plugin for NetScape Communicator/Navigator (all versions) and Internet Explorer (all versions - tested to v6 with sp1) and Opera (all versions, tested to v7 - but you may need to install as if using Netscape Navigator), available here.
- PDF files are read by
Acrobat Reader,
a freeware interpreter which plugs into your browser, or as a stand-alone viewer,
available from Adobe. PDF files can
be created for free from NoteWorthy Composer (or other applications) using a virtual
printer connected to "File", in conjunction with
Ghostscript/GSview,
or try FreePDF
for a more automagic approach.
- PostScript files can be printed directly to a PostScript printer, or use
Ghostscript/GSview to view/print them or
convert to other formats.
- MIDI files are readily listened to directly from your browser.
Several good freeware readers are:
- Crescendo, from Liveupdate
- The builtin that comes with Netscape
- The latest media-player from Microsoft.
- NoteWorthy Player, from NoteWorthy Software, which not only notates the music for you, but also interprets NoteWorthy Composer files.
- VanBasco's Midi Player, supports Midi-Karaoke, many other cool features, from VanBasco Software. Both versions (Win3x and Win9x) are now freeware!
- A charmingly campy Midi Jukebox called Midi Machine
is available from various other ftp sites if this link is too slow where you are.
- Winamp is a very good and highly configurable media player, which can handle MIDI,
NWC and other media formats. Best of all, it is free.
- ZIP files are read by many archive managers.
Look in shareware repositories like
- REC files are macro files for Windows 3.1 Recorder, by Microsoft. It seems that the software is not being supported anymore, as it is not shipped with Windows 95, 98 or NT. However, the original program still works with newer Windows versions. To download, see our
helpful files section.
- MP2/MP3 files are MPEG audio. MP3's are more compact, but require more system resources. A good freeware player (Win9x) is WinAmp. Also plays midis and other audio formats.
MP2's can be played on 386 with Win3.x or better. Win95 comes with the AVI software to play these; for Win3.x, download
Xing Player.
