Re: Created Dates-Sony PCM to Mac

["John Crockett" naturalcontemplative]

Hi Chris,

At least in OS X 10.4.11, the modification date is not automatically copied=
 into the creation date. The creation date remains blank, no date at all. I=
n Finder view, it's just a series of dashes. That's why one has to use a ut=
ility to copy the date, or manually add it to the name if one is using a re=
corder that does not base the name on the date. Otherwise the original reco=
rding date will be lost as soon as the file is edited.
