but you are still able to make a copy of a file with another bit size right ??? the question was how to make back ups - you dont need to record any new material to make a backup ? if you can listen to it and edit it is one thing - like you can also play a stereotape on the answeringmachine without changing it because I can play 24 bit and sound comes - if you can make an identical twin another ? no ? kenta -- -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
