Playing files:
	Its very simple to play a wav file on the 83+.  Its much like running squished 83 game with zasmload.  To play the file JER, a short clip from jeremy, just load the files JER and PLAYWAV onto your 83+.  The file JER can go in either ram or archive.  Just remember that there needs to be as much ram free as the size of file you want to play if you archive it.  Then you should type:

"JER
Asm(prgmPLAYWAV

You should hear the music if there is enough free ram.  Its certainly not going to replace your mp3 players but hey you got music on a calculator.  Remember regular headphones do not fit into the calc port.  You can get an adapter that fits into the linkport from radio shack for under $2.  Also included is a South Park clip originally released by David Van Fleteren for the 83's wav player.


Creating files:
	I have included the files wav83+.bat and wavcom.com.  Make sure you have devpack8x in the same folder as these files.  If you do not own it you can find it at http://www.ticalc.org/pub/dos/devpac8x.zip.  Simply record a wav file or download one and then convert it to 11khz 8bit mono 11kb/s.  A good program for this is sound recorder which should be included in windows.  I'll use the file jer.wav which is included as an example:

wav83+ jer

Thats it!  Now there should be a file called Jer.8xp.  If you don't like the sound quality try altering the volume of the wav file this usually helps.  If you don't use the format for wav files I mentioned earlier, it will still work but will not sound right.  Higher bitrates will make the 83+ sound slow.  Lower bitrates will make it sound really fast.  Fun to play with but not worth releasing these sound files.

Thanks to:
