Dear All,

it's taken me a while to reply to this having been immersed in work, but I did some hunting and found that yes, it is possible to get the mp3s from Morcombe (at least the Android version) and put them on an iPod or other mp3 player. *But* you'd need to be tech savvy and prepared to spend quite a bit of time labelling them.

The files are stored on the sdcard of my phone in a directory called eProducts/AusBirds and are all named *.edf. You need to copy these files onto your PC and upkack them to get the mp3s. This helpful site:

    http://emergent.unpythonic.net/01354324334

(which is where I got all the above info) even has a small python script that will unpack the edf files into the constituent jpg and mp3 files.

However the mp3 files do not seem to have the bird names embedded which means you need to name and/or label them manually, unless you are whizz with SQL and can write a script to do it automatically.

Cheers, Ian

PS. xeno-canto is a *fantastic* resource, but under-represented in Australia.

http://www.xeno-canto.org/ is a good source of calls and has the advantage
of being legal! There are a few caveats - it has quite a few different
calls of some species (so it takes some effort to decide which you want),
it does not have a full range of Aussie species and as far as I know it is
not moderated so I guess the identity of calls is not verified - although
the ones I have used have been good. It also tells you where a call has
been made, which can be helpful if you are trying to track down the local
subspecies

Does anyone know how to (or if it's possible) to put just the sounds from
the Michale Morcombe guide onto an older Ipod without a touch screen?
