It did nothing all day, so I used the vast spare disc space and idle CPU time for something useful: calming my ragged nerves with soothing music. I even looked inside the 140MB WMDB file to see if it was some recognisable or tolerably simple format that I could knock up some code to read, but it's really messy. I can't see an easy way of reconstructing the original lists with their ratings. Does anyone know what sort of DB format it is that holds the music player lists? I have a Word document with a reminder list of all the things I need to save and do when upgrading machines, but saving my music lists and ratings was missing. I won't forget again will I? Cheers, Greg
