I just downloaded Izarc. It is able to separate the music files but I still can't get them to play. What do I do now?

I mean it just keeps opening up a new Izarch window with the exact same thing. Windows media still can't play it. Honestly, I had an easier time with the Water Temple.

I'd never heard of USF files before, so I figured this would come up again, after you unrar'ed them...

(If you still want Winrar, you could click the same link later. Probably several links for it).

Anyway - Did you extract the files to your hard drive with Izarc?

Winrar/Izarc can't play them. They only extract them to the drive.

There's a plugin available for Winamp that allows you to play USF files. I cannot remember what it's called though, sorry. Try looking around at Zophar's Domain.


I found 'em. I'd googled up the rar, and there were links (mostly dead). These work:

USF Winamp Plugin version 1.1 You probably want the installer. There's a readme, for an older version, at. (Gee, what a surprise that the Winamp plugin page, for it, doesn't work when you click the download button. But the first link works fine).

I haven't got the plugin installed, yet. So I haven't tested it. It'd be great if you could use Winamp to convert them to something *normal* like Wav (not recompressed) or Mp3 (lose some quality). Dunno yet.


If you don't have Winamp, heres the Winamp download choices - I don't see any big reason to get the pay version. Its a nice little piece of software, I've used it for years. I believe this version requires XP. If you don't have XP, I'm pretty sure you can still get the old version from them (I got their newest old-version, about a year ago).

If you somehow associated the files to Izarc, then you need to hold down the shift key & right-click on one, chose "Open With" and pick Winamp. (And put a check mark in the "always open with this program). And/Or you can use Winamp's menu to open a whole directory of USF's at one time. (Which is not only quicker, but also useful if Open-With ignores you, as it does sometimes).
