[Dtb-talk] converting Victor Reader Stream Note files

[Grover Zinn]

I assume you mean that at some point Humanware will realize that WAV  
or MP3 would be good formats.

Why use .3gp to begin with (unless there is a proprietary thing going  
on here; I just discovered via a conversion program that the .3gp  
files in the notes folder appear as drm protected files; interesting  
that the user cannot manipulate the files that the user has  
created.......)

Off of the wheel of asking "why...."

Do you know of a Mac-friendly program that might convert .3gp to  
mp3??  (I can always feed the notes into an audio recording program on  
the Mac, but that would be a "bit" time-consuming for over 100 lengthy  
notes (and the number is growing).
