bulk extention converter

2014-04-28 Thread Robert Doc Wright
Has anyone run across a windows software that will allow me to point to a
folder of m4a files and change the a to r, b or v?  I am working on a folder
of mp3 tones that total 8000 files.  Converting to m4a isn't a problem.  Its
having to manually change each .m4a to .m4r that has me shaking!


If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why?  then where does the learning 
start?

Robert, try this one.  It works great with Window Eyes.  If you can't 
find it, let me know and I'll send you the copy I have.

Anyone on this list figured out a way to handle the memory system?

What in particular would you like to know? I don't claim to be an expert on the 
memory system of the PL880 but I know enough to be able to manipulate memories 
and presets.

I was able to set a preset on page 0, but when I was on sw and pressed
memory twice, it mixed it in with the ones I had on FM, so that was
confusing for me.  Also, I  was having trouble entering them with the
keypad, maybe you have to enter the page number, but that always did not
work, if I were on another page.

Again, I'm no expert on the memory system so so I'll outline what I know.

Page 0 is usually set aside for the AMS function - Auto Memory Scan -, this is 
the function where the radio scans for the strongest signals and puts those 
into memory automatically, you can do this on the Fm, MW and LW bands by 
holding the particular button for the band you wish to scan down for a second 
until the radio mutes.

The 2 buttons on the bottom right of the keypad are the memory up and down page 
controls, you have 25 pages of memory in total and you can scroll between pages 
using these keys.

On each page each memory is defined a number as each station is entered, for 
example if you go to page 1, the first memory preset you set there will be 
number 01.

You can get to this location in several ways, press the memory button and then 
use the main tuning knob to move through the presets on the currently selected 
page or by typing in the number location of the preset on the keypad and 
pressing the enter/delete key after, for example type 01 to get to the first 
memory location and press enter/delete, that's the key to the right of the 0 
and its a multi function key.

To get to presets where the value is a 2 digit number, just type in the number 
and the radio will tune directly to the preset without the need for the enter 
key to be used.

If you make mistakes in your memory allocations or you want to start afresh.

To delete all presets hold down enter/delete for 4 seconds and press again.

To delete specific memories or presets, go into memory mode and then hold down 
the memory/preset button, the radio goes into Memory scan mode where the 
radio stops at each memory preset location for 5 seconds.

Whilst the radio is stopped at a preset memory location you can press the 
enter/Delete key, that memory preset will then be deleted and the scan will 
continue to the next occupied memory preset location, the radio will then stop 
where upon you can press the enter/delete key again etc.

To store your currently tuned station into memory, hold down the memory set 
button to the left of the 0 key for 4 seconds.

Hope this helps.
