Jim, thanks for your useful reply.
I have given up attemptimng anything with SqueezeSlave for two reasons: 1) It's volume output is extremely low (almost inaudible) 2) When synced it causes my other players to stop emitting any sound whatsoever (even though to all intents and purposes they look like they are playing music) I have realised (mainly through reading one of your old posts) that a file called softsqueezeheadless.exe is included in the SoftSqueeze installation. This does exactly what I want. However, I have failed to manage to install it as a Windows service. I've downloaded the Windows Tools and used your instructions but it would not install. Then I read the Windows Tools helpfile and tried a lot of other paths. None of which worked. You seem quite experienced at this sort of thing. Can you tell at a glance what I am doing wrong? I've copied the commands I've tried below. All installations are in default paths and all the paths I've used are verifyably correct. All the files I am referencing are installed. Thanks for any help. MC -------------------- Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
