Hello, Well I don't know if this problem has been solved yet, but for frequency format changing, I think that you would know NOT to do a direct convert. That is, I hope you don't just change the frequency setting and call it a day. There are two ways to handle this. 1) resample it, most software has this feature. 2) use a track software to create a new file. In away this is resampling on another level. you can download a free copy of acid music at www.acidplanet.com if you don't have some of this software alread. Just place it as a track in the program and save it within the loop. Hope this helped, although it may be a weird way of doing things it works for me =) G'day _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
