NWC files can be read by
- the freeware program
NoteWorthy Viewer, which
plays the file while displaying the score, highlighting each note as it is played. You can also print the score out.
If you want to edit the file, you will need
NoteWorthy Composer.
Both are by NoteWorthy Software, Inc.
- the NWC plugin for WinAmp, 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
- PostScript files can be printed directly to a PostScript printer, or use
Ghostscript/GSview to view/print them or
convert to other formats.

Several good freeware readers are:
- NoteWorthy Viewer, from NoteWorthy Software, which not only notates the music for you, but also interprets NoteWorthy Composer files.
- The latest media-player from Microsoft.
- VanBasco's Midi Player, supports Midi-Karaoke, many other cool features, from VanBasco Software. Both versions (Win3x and Win9x) are now freeware!
- 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
- MP2/MP3 files are MPEG audio. MP3's are more compact, but require more system resources.
A good freeware player is WinAmp. Also plays midis and other audio formats.
Also a good player is VLC
