Hi. My problem is this: i think the ptr2 has software to put on the computer to break things into mp3 tracks if I want to. however, though I have 2 of these ptr2 machines, I don't have the software--can't find it. I wouldn't know how to use it if I did. but I might look into it someday. Your version of this sounds pretty tedious for me, as the last file I looked at probably had 80 tracks that I wish were there. But the music is not essential; just some things I was recording to make available to myself on mp3.
Blessings, and thanks so very much, Penny. At 03:20 PM 11/26/2009, you wrote:
Penny, You have to start by having a backup of the original. Then you use your section creation and section deleting commands to eliminate everything but the material you want to be on a single track Then you use backkup to save it but this time you are actually creating a single track copy. If it works I would only use it when computer based editing was not available as it would be a real pain to do something like 18 tracks in this manner. In the case of my convention recording I had it on a 16Gb sd card and no computer. This card will not go in a ptr1 or 2 even with the right adapter. If you have something that you care about do not try this. Experiment with some material that you intend to delete anyways. Because if you can't get back the original from backup the backup copy will be the only one you have from then on.

Explain this again for me? What do I do? Cut the thing into tracks and then delete the first track and the save it back? Delete the second track, and then save it back? Is that the idea? If I don't have it right, do give it to me again. I actually do create something. But what I want to do is to just record several hours of songs and be able to save the separate songs as mp3s to my hard drive on the computer. But sometimes I want 1 song from some old record; sometimes I'll take all the songs. And when I do that latter business, the plex won't allow me to make a single track out of something that I have not already tracked already. It will allow me to make a nice long file, but when it cuts it, it's only a track number; not a separated file.
