Personal opinion. Autoresponders are the work of the devil and should be avoided at all costs. If you do set up an autoresponder, PLEASE be careful of the configuration, especially in respect to things like this forum. Years ago, when I used dial-up on the road to get email, an individual set up

Don't know if it is relevant, and don't have time to look it up right now, but my feeble memory just recalled using mpeg321 or mpeg123 or something like that in processing mp3 files. Might help, might not. Just throwing it out. Michael On Dec 3, 2017 06:03, "Rich Shepard"
