Hello all - First of all, I'd like to thank Dr. Richard Boulanger and the group at the Berklee College of Music for contributing the new sounds. I'm very excited to put these new sounds on my XO and start to play, but i have no idea how to

1. unzip a zip file on the XO

2. Put the files in the right place (s) so that they will work in Tam Tam, etc.

Is there someone out there who could (either by links or explanation) do a step-by-step procedure for the above mentioned tasks?

It would also be very helpful to learn about the different sound quality levels offered. I know that there is always a trade-off between file size and sound quality. What I don't know is what the XO is capable of. If I download and install the 44.1k cd quality sounds, but the XO is only capable of outputting 22.5k, aren't I wasting my time and processing power and storage space?

Thanks, Charlie
