Hi Andrew,
Actually, there is a Mac-only pckage that converts System 7 and AIFF sound
files to Newton packages that can be installed just like any other Newton
software package. It's called Sound Icon Maker and is available from Deep
Focus Designs (http://www.deepfocus.com/newton/SoundIconMaker.shtml). Deep
Focus also has a Newton software package that converts note recordings into
alert sounds (http://www.deepfocus.com/newton/AlertMaker.shtml).
I hope this helps...
Regards,
Gary

I have tried to do exactly that but was very disappointed in the
results. It seems the MP2X00 is just not capable of recording the
subtle nuances that are a part of bird song through the built-in mic.
Now if the hardware solution existed to record through the Serial
Adaptor, or if there was a way to make each song recording into a
package that could then be installed onto the Newton like any other
package, the results may be much more acceptable. Anybody know if
there is a way to do this?
