Gary,
This particular streaming radio station generates .asf files. That's what's
so crazy about the thing. I believe I will uncheck the box to create .m3u
files, though there are some .mp3's that play just fine and I just ignore
the .m3u's listed with those before I delete both after hearing the show.

Hi Pam, I am wondering if something in Replay Av got checked to make M3U
files.
these are for MP3 playlists that have links to a file in them for a player
like
Winamp. if the files would be for windows media player they would be wax or
asx
or even wmv. it sounds as though you are attempting to record podcasts. most
of
the streams aare real audio or windows media 9 type, 22 to 35 kbps. I can't
think
of a reason you would be getting an M3u file.

Smoothly
Recently I have come across some entries in the Replay Recordings folder
where I can find no .asf or .mp3 files, but only .m3u and .cab files. I
trued opening a .m3u file to look for the recoding itself, but could not
find a way to do it. I suppose I should have coped it to Notepad,but
didn't
do it. I did find a number of .cab files and am not sure how to handle
these. Of course this begs the question of why the recordings and
conversions didn't complete correctly. This drive is getting rather full
and I have deleted a number of old broadcasts and try to remember to
delete
each as soon as I'm finished with it; but it is not a dedicated drive and
shares space with many other files. I'm wondering if the scarcity of
space,
only a couple of gigs or so, has anything to do with the problems I'm
having. The problem largely seems to affect recordings from a certain
site
which streams with Media Player; though I have seen some .mp3's there.
Should I try converting to .mp3 after recording has been completed? I'd
like to maintain the ability to listen in Media Player, but for the most
part these are not to be kept permanently so MP3 would be an option over
not
having the recording at all.
Any help would be appreciated, including strategies on working with the
output files that have been created.
Thanks in advance.
Pam
