In Mac OS 9 you could double click on a sound file to play it. Can you do that in Mac OS X? If you double click on a sound file to play it in Mac OS X, what format do the sound files have to be in? If you cannot double click on a sound file to play it, is there a program that you can drag a sound file onto that will play it instantaneously?

No; null; QuickTime Player.

You can click once on the icon while in column view to play any sound or movie format that QuickTime recognizes, right in the Finder.

That is true. I don't know why I totally skipped over that, as I use it all the time...

/me slaps himself.

If you have this application you can double click system 7 sounds. Although I would strongly recommend NOT using that format anymore. AIFF is the way to go.
