I copy my listings to an Excel file using "Paste Special" choosing "text" It puts the data in columns then you delete the columns you don't need (bit rate etc ) and keep titles and dates Then you can highlight the title column and go to Edit and choose "Replace" and type in ".mp3" in the top line and leave bottom line empty Then hit "replace all" and all the "mp3s" will be deleted. You can use this to delete other unwanteds (asterisk * can be used as a wild card). Replace can be finicky at times but after you use it for a while you get used to its its quirks

The Witch's Tale is a delightful trip through the macabre. The cast is extremely talented and the stories are dark and fantastic - quite an accomplishment for creator Cole.

The change between 79-year old Adelaide Fitz-Allen (after her death) to 13-year old Miriam Wolfe as the title character is the most interesting "behind the scenes" aspect of this show for me. Wolfe brought a great deal to the show and her transition from a children's show to a horror show (complete with a cat named Satan) is remarkable.
