(...) Most of the file extensions on the NXT start with .R and end with two characters which suggest the file type (SO for sound, XE for executable, TM for "try me", DT for datalog, etc...). A .RSO file is a massaged .WAV file. The .RSO file format (...) (19 years ago, 5-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)
