Hi Michael, Ah, Voice Recordings ... As I mentioned in my first reply "iTunes can run into trouble with lower resolution voice recorder WAVs." If they won’t play in iTunes: Rather than trying to convert from WAV to MP3 which would lose a lot of the quality, you might want to try converting fro

Thanks for responding, Ronda. iTunes opens but only 7 of the 100 or so recordings are detected even though I have selected "import". Regards, Michael. On 5/10/10 11:12 AM, "Ronda Brown" wrote: > > > On 05/10/2010, at 10:52 AM, Michael Hawkins wrote: > >> >> I have a cd of which about 7
