RenamerNG

RenamerNG macros are stored in macros.renamermacro.xml.
Put macros.renamermacro.xml into "C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\RenamerNG\RenamerNG\1.0.2340.14175\"
An example macros.renamermacro.xml is available from the skydrive objects webpage and click on "macros.renamermacro".
(It appears to be missing the .xml extension but this just hidden until you download).

Renamer6.0

Renamer6.0 macros are stored in settings.opt.
Put settings.opt into "C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files(x86)\Renamer\" or
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Renamer"
An example settings.opt is available from the skydrive objects webpage and click on "settings.opt".

Replay AV

Replay AV schedules (i.e. list of radio programs and when they are to be recorded) are stored in Schedule8.dat. Put Schedule8.dat. into "C:\Program Files\Replay AV 8". An example Schedule8.dat is available from the skydrive objects webpage and click on "Schedule8.dat".
In order to sort the resulting mp3 files into date and time order, the Replay AV filename needs to have the format: %Y-%m-%d-%%s i.e: yyyy-mm-dd-filename. This is set in Replay AVsettings - Other tab - file naming format.
