?!? EXE is a Windows exectuable, i.e. an application.

If they are jsut self extracting ZIP files you might be able to extract them by renaming to .ZIP.

Music files in .exe?
Theres your Windows virus problem, right there.

There is no conversion from .exe to Apple applications. Your only option is to purchase the Apple equivalent of the program your after.

Of course you could open them with the likes of Virtual PC but thats not really a 'file conversion' per say
