Hmmm....thank you! You put me on the track of something, but not quite what either of us may have thought. An example: I have a file folder called "Flamenco". In that folder, I have a number of albums. As a for instance, I have two albums by Estrella Morente. The two album file structures are identical (just tracks and cover art) in every respect except one. One album played perfectly as in configuration #1 and the other one would only will play in my configuration #2. The only difference in the files within the album folder is that in the one album folder---along with the tracks and art file---there is an M3U file and in the other album there is no M3U file. I certainly didn't put any M3U files in there...it appears it may be some sort of artifact that ocurred in the ripping process to the VBA. It seems to be causing iPeng to possibly read it as some sort of playlist??? Why some albums have the M3U files in with the tracks and others do not is a mystery as they were all ripped on the VBA appliance with its auto ripper. As you might imagine, there was an easy test and I can report that the M3U files were absolutely the cause of the problem. Deleting the M3U file caused that album to play perfectly in configuration #1. Unless someone can tell me why I MUST have these little M3U files in the album folders along with the track and art files, I plan to delete all of them. -- rgro Rick System information ------------------------ Main: PS Audio Quintet > Touch (wired) via spdif coax > CA DacMagic > Marantz PM8003 > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.
