Thanks, very helpful.

Reckon I'll take a look at QuickTime Alternative too. Trouble is, I
now have so many players of one shade or another that I risk never
becoming truly adept with any single one of them. My favourite to

bursts of activity when I get around to it!) is MediaMonkey.

Hope you and yours OK with approach of Rita?
