Bitrate: 128 Kbits/s, Extension value: 0 Audio: 1:1 conversion, rate: 44100, encoding: signed 16 bit, channels: 2 When this podcast has finished I will investigate with some other files and programs. In the meantime I cannot tell how long that will be, and I am reluctant to stop a show when I won't be able to fast forward to where I am now when I restart it. I am loving the variety of music and other stuff [1] I can download via podcasting. And bashpodder is so delightfully low tech! A bit lighter than iTunes LOL. 41 lines of bash and 11 lines of an xml translation file. priceless, and for everything else theres .... [1] seen tonight a podcast of shows which seem to feature the sounds of people having sex. with commentary. apparently, as I am only going by the description on some podding site. i'll leave it to you all to find and download... > -- > Delio -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
