You need a couple of things. First make sure that the
classes/datatypes dir has the sound.datatype from the workbench disks
installed.
Then go to Aminet. You need the util/dtype directory, in which you
will find loads of datatypes, including ones for waves, iff, 8svx,
AIFF and sundry others. AFAIK, they all have installers, or at least
instructions on how to install them.

I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.
