How to make iTunes recognize .wav files

Bought a Video iPod and Griffin's iTalk Pro (a mike that allows voice recording). I recorded a 1 hour and a 2 hour session and the file showed up on the iPod. When I attached it to the Mac with OS 10.4.8 and iTunes 7, it uploaded the voice memo files (in .wav) and put them in the iTunes library file as found through searchlight, but are not shown in iTunes.

How can I make these files be recognized by iTunes?

eMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

That's not how it's supposed to work according to this: http://www.griffintechnology.com/support/italkpro/

By default, a playlist will be created in iTunes called "Voice Memos" and those files will be transferred there automatically. The files themselves can be found on your computer in your iTunes Music folder in Unknown Artist > Unknown Album.

It may be worth working through any trouble shooting articles on that site.

Griffin sez if it doesn't work that way then its an iPod/iTunes issue and to talk to Apple.

Thanks, but I'm back to square one.

You might want to convert them to AAC in Quicktime.

You mean Spotlight?

but are not shown in iTunes
In iTunes, control click on the column headers and tick Date added.
Sort on this column and look for the files.

They are recognized based on the simple fact that they are in the library.itl file.
