Hi Mat, When you click on a file in Explorer, windows uses the program associated with that type of file to open it, and in the case of an audio file, to play it. If you have an app that will play back the 8 bit files using AW8, just associate those filetypes with that app. Then when you click on that type of file in explorer, it will play! Hope this helps.
