Thanks Debbie; I know Goldwave has a batch conversion module; I converted 55
vbr's to cbr's in around six hours, but I didn't know Total Recorder had
one. Will it do multiple files like Goldwave?
Thanks.
Don

Hi,
The issue is that you can't skip through a variable bit-rate file the way
you can a fixed-rate
one. The number keys report "seek failed". Also, you can't get stats such
as playtime
and percent completed. If I know a file (particularly a long one is
variable, I put it
through Total Recorder's batch converter before sending it to the Bookport.
