How can I play .caf files on Windows desktop computer

I have a voice/sound recording program called Recorder Pro on my iPhone5.   It generates .caf files, which can be transferred to my desktop computer while the phone is connected, using iTunes/Apps (where the bottom left panel upon scrolling down has two apps, Recorder pro and Garage Band, and on selecting Recorder Pro, the .caf files are listed in the bottom right panel, from where they may be copied. 
However, none of the software on my desktop would play the .caf files, so following the solution in another post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22299971#22299971
I downloaded Audacity 2.0.5. 
Now, to complicate the issue, I have had two versions of Recorder Pro on my iPhone.  The first version (let's call it V1) had an icon with a big oval mid-gray microphone. It was (as far as I can remember) free of charge.  It seemed to have a constraint of 3 min recording time, so I replaced with a second version (V4.1.2) purchased for about $2.  "V4.1.2" has an icon with a red sphere on a black background. 
Both versions produced .caf files, but Audacity will only read the three files I recorded with V1 (6 to 15 MB).  The two files I recorded with V4.1.2 (3-10 MB) will not play.  (Import RAW in Audacity does not work either.)
I am not sure what the relationship is between the Recorder Pro programs, as they bear no resemblance in design. They both originated from DAVA Consulting. The first one was I believe from here:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/recorder-pro/id503031635?mt=8
and the second one says it is 4.1.2.
(A further complication - which could conceivably be relevant - is that V1 appeared in the bottom left of iTunes but the files did not show in the right panel, and I had great difficulty downloading those 3 files - in fact I cannot understand how they ended up copied to my desktop,  since the procedure that was supposed to work was impossible due to the non-appearance of the .caf files in that panel!   Then, when I did find them on my desktop, the files were truncated at less than 4 minutes .... which was the reason for purchasing V4.1.2.  The question then occurs:  is it critically important to download those caf files from your phone in a particular way?)

Have you tried Vox? https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/vox/id461369673?l=en&mt=12
It plays FLAC files (and just about anything else) - though not in iTunes. No need to convert anything.

  • How can i play aiff files on my ipad??

    Hello all,
    How can i play .aiff files on my ipad?? I mean without converting them into mp4 format. (Converting does by far not keep the quality!)
    Many thanks

    Hello John,
    this does not solve my problem, or at least i do not understand it. Because when i wanna transfer the file onto my ipad..... i do have a lot of backgroud noise due to the conversion and therefore the file is useless.
    is there any application whixh i could download? (app store ... and then how do i have to do?)
    best regards and thanks anyway for your answer......

  • How can I play .avi files, how can I play .avi files

    how can I play >avi files on Mavericks?

    This did solve my question.  I'm not happy with the actions necessary to get the avi file to play, but it works.  I was delivering a presentation with an embedded avi video file to a workplace audience and all of a sudden the transition from powerpoint is not "seamless" anymore, but it is better than not having the movie presentation.
    Mavericks is not a big improvement for me, and this is not the first cumbersome step I've encountered.  I would not recommend a leam to Mavericks unless there is something you really need.  It's not all Apple's fault, as third party app providers are not keeping their product up -to-date, but we don't have computers for the fancy OS, we have it for the apps.

  • How can I play mpg files on my mac or ipad?

    Can I extend Quick Time to play files with the extension mpg? I don't want to have to convert all my files and I'd rather not have to use a different player.
    I'm sure I've played these files on an older mac. Will Quick Time recognise them if I just rename the extensions?
    Message was edited by: Beeps57

    Quicktime Player will easily play MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 files (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3775).  However, MPEG-2 files (typically from DVDs) are not supported natively (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3526).
    The easy solution is to use a trusted 3rd party application that can play them.  One of the best is VLC player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html).
    One way to extent QuickTime player is to purchase QuickTime Pro for QuickTime 7 (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/).  The best other way used to be to install Perian (http://perian.org/) but is is no longer supported.  They however recommend "niceplayer" (https://code.google.com/p/niceplayer/) froom the Perian web site.

  • How can I share a file with another mac computer?

    I would like to send a file to my girlfriends computer. A macbook pro. I have a macbook. Can you tell me how to do this? Is it with file sharing, or blue tooth or something else. I is a logic .aif file.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
    A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
    Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
    With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
    (It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

    You cannot downlaod only part of iTunes.
    You mean you have downlaoded and installed and you can run iTunes but you can only see Music at the top left of iTunes.
    Click the little arrow at top left then Show menu.

  • How can i download Itunes on my Windows 8 computer?

    I cant figure out how to download Itunes on my Windows 8 computer can someone help me? I have tried numerous times and nothing pops up or instals

    Sorry but I don't understand your question. If you want to install iTunes on your computer, just download iTunes from the iTunes tab above and install it.
    I think you'll probably need to post back and clarify where it is that you are running into difficulties before anyone can offer any useful advice.
    Regards.
