I found a much simpler solution, however. You can simply “SEND” the Voice Memo sound files from the Treo’s Voice Memo application to your Mac via email or Bluetooth. These show up as .AMR Files on the Mac (which Quicktime can play.)

I usually convert these .AMR files to MP3s using a Shareware application called “Switch” for use on my iPod.

Simple!

[Thanks for the helpful comment. Anyone else find that worked for them? I still can't get Quicktime to play the .amr files.]

[Update: There is a good thread on this topic at macscripter.net.]

Thus, if one wishes, the prettier dialogs of his script as well as the error checking can be rather easily incorporated into the original, which runs very quickly on my MB-Pro:

—-

set onOff to do shell script “defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles”
if onOff = “NO” or onOff = “OFF” or onOff = “0″ then
set newState to “SHOW”
set OnOffCommand to “defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles ON”
else
set newState to “HIDE”
set OnOffCommand to “defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles OFF”
end if

display dialog “Do you want to ” & newState & ” invisible files? (This will restart the Finder.)” buttons {“Cancel”, (newState & ” Invisible Files”)} default button 2 with icon note
copy the result as list to {buttonPressed}

if the buttonPressed is not “Cancel” then
try
tell application “Finder” to quit
do shell script OnOffCommand
delay 1
tell application “Finder” to launch
on error errorMsg number errorNum
display dialog “Error (” & errorNum & “):” & return & return & errorMsg buttons “Cancel” default button 1 with icon caution
end try
end if
