the answer now and any search on these forums that includes the word Slimserver just returns a blank page. Slimserver 6.5.2 on Windows XP Pro, default skin, if it makes a difference. Thanks for any help MC -- ModelCitizen It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist

then generates. It is very important you set EAV up corectly. Make sure you spend some time doing this before starting to rip. For instance you can only perfectly regenerate CDs if you have the offset for your CDRom drive set correctly in EAC. MC -- ModelCitizen Now what? Transporter Naim NAP 250

huge. There is setting on the bass bin... 1,2 or 3. It's hard to imagine anyone using 3 or some using 2.. For 100 UK pounds they are phenominal. But you need somewhere to put the bass bin. It's not pretty. MC -- ModelCitizen Now what? Transporter Naim NAP 250 PMC OB1s. Music catalog: http
