[Lab] Mac knowledge??

[Mike Belanger]

On second thought, forget the reply I just did Michael, this command will peel through all directories, no permission denieds.

sudo find / -type f -name "*.aup"

I have tried both .aup, and the "exp wed" which they were named, but nothing.

I am not totally sure of the full name as I may have used our band name raas (nothing comes from searching raas either...), but am very sure the names were "exp wed" and a #.  I know for sure they are all .aup files, and I was able to open and make an mp3 from one three months after recording.
