Thanks for providing some technical assistance, Ian. I should add a
comment, though, that anyone considering doing this might want to check
whether or not it is legal to copy the MP3 files between devices. It's not
format shifting, because the files stay as MP3s. If they own a digital copy
of the guide then they are allowed to install the whole guide on at least
two or three of their own devices (e.g. tablet, phone) but I don't know
whether or not extracting audio files breaches copyright. As administrator
of this list, I highly recommend that anyone thinking about doing this
checks both the copyright info of the app itself, as well as the user
agreement of the Android Store (or App Store). I don't want anyone to think
that we are condoning copyright breaches on this forum!
Can I also say that I love the Morecombe App and use the calls feature all
the time to identify calls I hear (I'm hopeless with calls, an embarrassing
confession for a musician!)
