Hi Penny, Apologies if you've already had an answer to this one but, if you've got the PTR2s, you can download and install the software from the website at the following URL: www.plextalk.com/in/download.html Go to the software download section on the page and download as normal. In order to install the software, you will need to have the PTR2 connected to your computer at that time. For subsequent use, you can then use the PRS software without the PTR2 being involved. You can then use the PRS software for editing recordings that you make with the Pocket. I hope this all makes sense.

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.
