High Dane, You wanted me to report back to you after trying VLC. I found that it lets me open and play moldable audio files at one time. In both Windows Media Player and Winamp, you have to do a control-a to select them all then inter to play them all. In VLC, those are a couple of steps you get to skip. Was it you that had the documentation of VLC in a .PDF file? If so, please send it to me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This way, I can do some reading up on this media player in hope to fully learn how VLC really works. Thank you for making the suggestion.
