Ron et al... It was a little bit of a saga---actually more than a little bit---doing the VBA upgrade to 1.6. But, I finally got it done with a $20 used monitor I found at the local used computer parts store, and the keyboard off my PC. After about a dozen unsucessful attempts at following the 1.5 to 1.6 script on the VB website, I finally gave up on that and figured out how to do a wipe and complete new install of 1.6 (it wasn't at all obvious how to do this for a newbie) from the ISO disc I had to make. Reinstalled my music files to the VB from my USB backup drive, and then updated to SBS 7.5.2 which, by the way, was the easiest part of the whole job (thanks for posting those perfect instructions!). The only tiny little casualty was a small part of one playlist----had to skip about 6 tracks--coming over from the backup due to some of the filename lengths being too long. Something must've changed slightly with the VBA/Fedora 14 file length limitation or something. But, I can easily reconstruct it. So, I'll listen to Rhapsody for a good long while tonight and see if it hiccups at all. Otherwise....the music be playin' again!!!!
