Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!!! I've been searching everywhere for an answer. The
sound quality isn't wonderful, but I only need backing tracks to sing to (I'm
an amature classical singer/student teacher). Why do they provide a
Convertion utility in the recorder and not the player? I would have throught
that the two would sort of share abilities.
Anyway, thanks again, Mike!
PS Your instructions were great!
