Which is why I mentioned that there are online services that will do this, and trusted they could look them up. I guess I'm not as generous as you, grin.
Richard "You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen." -- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy On Mar 6, 2021, at 7:41 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: But if you don't have GoldWave and have never used it it is much easier to just use an online converter, Zamzar.com works well or just do a Google search for "Converting M4R to MP3" For me the first search result was the Zamzar website, you also don't have to rename the file from M4R to M4A. When I tried it I simply clicked the button to select my M4R file, use "B" to find it, after that I had a drop-down combo box where I could select the format I wanted to convert to, MP3 was already selected and then there was just the Convert buton. After I pressed it, I got this message: Zamzar - File Conversion progress Alert! Hang tight - download links will appear shortly... After a few seconds the file was converted and the "Download" button was there, after activating it I was asked what I wanted to do with the file, but that depends on your download settings. I have Chrome and Edge set up to ask me where I want to save my files, if you had it set up to simply save to the Downloads folder then after activating the button it would just download, for me I press F6 and then arrow from "Open" to "Save" and select where I want to save it. I love these online converters, there is nothing to install, nothing to learn and you can find converters which pretty much can convert anything into anything. GoldWave I am sure is easy to use for people like Richard who have used it for years, if you had never used it you would probably spend 20 minutes trying to figure it out.

Plus, Goldwave has a batch process so you could convert a bunch of files at once to mp3. There are other programs and online services that can do this.
