    New member here, so apologies if this is a dumb question.
    I have a large number (over 60 hours) of audio files recorded on the hard drive. Is there a quick way to copy these across to a USB pen or are audio files also 'encrypted' as I believe video files are. If there is no quick way, I will have to copy in real time using the optical output into my Mac. I would prefer the quicker option !
    Thanks.

    Hi welcome to our forum. What do you mean by audio files ? Are these uploaded by yourself (MP3) or Freesat radio recordings made from the epg ?

    Recorded off Freesat from BBC Radio 3, so 'epg'.

    All you can do is record in real time from the S/Pdif or analogue audio outputs. Can't you record from Freeview direct to your MAC using a USB tuner ?

    Thanks for confirming what I suspected. Yes, I could use a USB tuner, but have now started to use Audio Hijack to record off the web directly onto the Mac.
