What do you mean by converting the files? Most files play just fine as they are...

>> The Victor Reader Stream will freeze your computer, in my experience,  if you try to use the included USB cable. However, if you get an SD  card reader with a USB port -- about $20 at any computer/electronics  store --  then it will work just fine. You won't have a HumanWare  Companion, but you can still copy files.
