Question to play 24 bits files ??

Hi guys,
I have a friend that has a lot of audio files in 24 bits. He will be able to transfer them to an external hard drive for me. I have a PC with window media player which I believe isn't able to reach 24 bits. I will also need a DAC but since I don't have any idea how to to do it, I would like some of you give me some advice, reference or idea about how to do it. Do I need an special media player ?? Software?? Program ?? Please, explain me.
Thanks a lot,
Jorge.

Does your friend have the legal right to transfer the files to you? Is he the copyright holder of the material or does he have permission from the copyright holder?

As long as he doesn't sell them to him there is no legal issue.

Onhwy61 - you sure are a busybody. The guy asks a legitimate question and you give him the RIAA 3rd Degree. back off, Buckwheat...

As for the OP's original question, Foobar2000 will do what you want. It is a FREE media player and has tons of support and plug-ins to extend its capabilities.

What happens if Audiogon gets known as a site that encourages, enables or otherwise abets in illegal copyright thievery? What happens if the RIAA or its cohorts try to make an example of Audiogon? Will the non-busybody members of Audiogon then be happy?

Say it loud, I'm Buckwheat an I'm proud!

This is a learning site. We paid for the music on vinyl, repaid for lousy CD's, and pay again? No thanks. The record companies make all the money mainly, not the artist. That's why they (the big ones) keep buying more smaller ones. What's next, pay radio? [http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107]
