Thanks Terry, what are you using for an external mic?

HiI.
If you use the PTR2 in "Normal" mode, then you can do this, and indeed I do
all the time.
So for example if it is the first recording on the card/disk you would see a
folder called
bookdir0
and in there as well as all the smil xml and other stuff yu would also find
the mp3 files pertaining to the title, which you simply copy to your hard
disk and edit in your referred sound editor.
I regularly record broadcast quality interviews etc and in fact the quality
difference between the PTR1 and PTR2 is to say the leest staggering.
