I have downloaded DSD files and Musicbee has been recommended as a good means of playing them.  Unfortunately I have been unable to set up Musicbee.  I am completely non tech and would be grateful is someone could provide me with a simple step by step idiots guide.

Thanks

Welcome to the party! It can take a moment to get up to speed, but once you get your music populated and start clicking on things you'll wonder how you ever survived without the customization abilities of MB. Here are some links to get you rolling:

This is a shotgun approach to answering your inquiry, but it should be enough to get the ball rolling for you. At the very least, it should help you with determining what specifically you have questions about, which can be asked here of course.

Last time I checked MusicBee can only convert DSD to PCM for playback, so if native DSD playback is important to you, it's better to use another application that does support it such as Foobar or JRiver.
