    I can't help myself...
    No, it's not supposed to be buggy. But your code isnt supposed to be buggy either Neil. So by the same token I'm wondering what in the world you're doing writing buggy code. Is neilthecellist stuff SUPPOSED to be buggy for something?? Runtime errors mostly pop up when you didnt plan for something happening.

      oop sorry i meant syntax error.

      I DON"t know!

      Ugh at school I got caught for not doing my computer programming work (I was listening to music / surfing dBpowerAMP forums), so now I've been restricted from computer use for 2 days. I'm surfing right now via home computer. lol

        This sounds very rough I'd like to make it larger but not as large as the mp3 I'm converting from 198kbps
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        Don't select the WMA "Voice". Just stick with the Windows Media Audio V 9 and then go to the box under that to see a whole long list of bitrates, freqencies and mono/stereo option.

          WHY on earth did you select voice anyways?? Even 3rd graders at the elementary school I used to go to know not to use Voice....unless it's for streaming.

            Or for CDs that are just spoken, such as CDs released by Comedians.
