OK, I wrote the wget script and it seems to work, I'll try to modify it 
so it wont care about the date. if I jsyt tell it to get *part%201.wav 
will that work?

I guess the way to make this work is that each part has to be a single 
cut in it's own cart? then I can modify the title wget saves t as to 
include th cart number and the dropbox can get the cart number from the 
file name and overwrite the cut each week? I"ve got several dropboxes 
running, but this is the first time I've had to do a multipart show. I 
assume for scheduling purposes it ia also best to have each part be it's 
own cart. seems the best way to me.


Thanks again for the help,
