Aside from setting the filename and filetype (as described by others
answering this post), you should know that the Amiga and Mac sounds
are not compatible without being converted.  One of them uses signed
integers and the other uses unsigned (I can never remember which uses
which.)  Anyway, there are public domain programs available on the
Amiga that will convert Amiga sounds to Mac format before you transfer
them to the Mac.  Check Amiga FTP sites and/or Amiga Fish disks for
programs to do this.  Apparently it's a very easy program to write
in C, if you're a programmer.
