Music on incoming email on Outlook Express 6 ??

[Charles]

Does anyone know if you can assign a music to play when you receive an email
in Outlook Express 6, not just a little ding or chirping noise from the
microsoft
file ?

Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices.
Click on the Sounds tab.
In the Program Events box, look for "New Mail Notification".
Hit the Browse button and navigate to the location of the
sound you want played for that event.

Exactly what music do you want to play? You can play any music
you want as long as it's a .wav file. If you have an mp3 file
you want to play, it will have to be converted into a wav file.
Here's a free program I've found easy to use.

Mp3Decode

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help
than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across multiple
newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html

Thanks at lot, I did it.
Any programs to convert from WMA to WAV as well or from WMA to MP3?

You're welcome.

As for your question, I'm sorry but I don't know. You might
want to post that question in a newsgroup dealing with Windows
Media Player.

Good luck
