AHA! I think .SEA.BIN will work! I made just such an archive of StuffIt Expander 5.1.3. You can get that here:

http://benboldt.spymac.com/stuffit.sea.bin

This will allow you to open most common old archives transferred from your PC. Once you have expanded this file on your Mac, you should be able to use the other files we mentioned earlier.

It actually is much better and very noticeable to use the original file. Have a look at the pictures in this article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpolation

The Mac LC will play the sound like the picture labeled "Piecewise" (with vertical lines connecting the horizontal lines, making "stair" shapes) and newer versions of Quicktime will transform this into the picture labeled "Polynomial interpolation", making more natural sinusoidal shapes for playback. This actually restores information fairly accurately that was missing before. This would not be possible with a recording of the Mac LC.

Different types of interpolation like this are often used at the beginning of Calculus courses to estimate integrals (the area under a graph from point a to point B) .
