Thanks someone had reminded me of my old dos days earlier.

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

 having to manually change each .m4a to .m4r that has me shaking!

ARe you talking about simply changing the extension rather than
the format of the file?

If that's all you need to do, DOS is your friend here!

Open a command window, navigate to the folder your files are in,
and type

REN *.M4A *.M4R

Hit RETURN and it's done.

If this is the sort of thing you're likely to do often, there is
an XP Powertoy which adds the command prompt to the right-click
menu. Windows Vista, 7 and 8 have this built in, just
shift-right-click on (or in) the folder.

I was reminded of a dos command that does it in seconds
