This is simpler, just make sure the app and the P or ZX80 O file are in the same directory and just drag the file onto the app for instant wav file.

Works in Eighty One so see no problem with real kit.

Wintzx is very good also.

A lot of these tools are already on the forum and can be found with a quick search. :D

A few months back I added functionality to the ZX81 iOS/iPadOS under the Software section to convert P Files to audio. The suggestions above are probably easier these days given that most of the recent corresponding Apple devices don't have a jack output needing a dongle to plug into the lightning port.

Quick update: I found WinTZX to work perfectly under Linux with Wine and was able to create physical tapes of programs without issues.
Thanks to all.

In Vb81 XuR... SAVE "MYPRG.WAV" will write a the program to Wav format in the same directory.
