Thanks to all for the great posts and the well deserved mauling ;-)
Yes, I streaked through that effort to put the mp3s onto the CD and
didn't notice that the TR settings were bit rate and NOT frequency
As it happens, I originally wanted to put the files on the CD in ogg format
but
Sony Extreme bawled at me, just as it did for the MP3s. Thanks to your well
deserved whacking and enlightenment, I formatted the CD for data and copied
all the oggs.
Great to have such a great bunch around when help is needed.
Have a wonderful weekend
